The pandemic has made it worse for people waiting for organ transplants.

I spoke with Manitobans who say COVID's strain on the healthcare system is delaying the surgeries they're waiting for.

Fake journalists, stolen identities and paid articles — We revealed a Russia-linked influence campaign in West Africa. A fee of about $80 per article was paid to a number of media outlets for publication of disinformation/propaganda.

Space debris is cluttering our orbit — and it's getting worse. How long until falling space junk hits a plane? https://t.co/85FSUTumuT

In the last 6 years, I’ve documented over 100 human rights abuses, including rape of children, by Russian paramilitaries in West & Central Africa. The stories survivors have told me are devastating. These crimes should never have been allowed to happen.

For @thenarwhalca, I looked at how several years of devastating weather events have impacted the B.C. wine industry –– and how winemakers are adapting.

When we moved to Winnipeg my husband called this the “Winnipeg idle.” I’ve walked past Hydro vehicles also in Wolseley left idling for upwards of an hour. Does it become habitual because of our winters? Either way, it sucks.

@stephenrodrick Thanks! I have a boy of my own now 😊 obsessed

Walking on the road with my six week old because the @cityofwinnipeg sidewalks are so treacherous. Be careful out there, hopefully there’s some room for sidewalk maintenance in the budget

[Lauren Donnelly @actorlbd]

@cityofwinnipeg Awesome, would be great to see those plows in action in the west end and Wolseley because right now things are pretty slippery. Lots of people walking on the road.

@brish_ti @CBCNews This sucks so hard, Brishti. The Corp has been lucky to have you and your work.

CBC is cutting 600 jobs, about 10% of its workforce (1/10 employees), Catherine Tait announced at a CBC town hall this afternoon.

Job cuts set to happen in the next few weeks with most happening after the fiscal year

Union and non-union (management) jobs will be affected.

[Lauren Donnelly @actorlbd]

@George_Lowey Such a stressful process! It made grad school so much more doable for me though, I hope you get it!
