@the_ref14 @internet_paolo @alexbozikovic @GraphicMatt There are alternatives that serve a great deal of use cases. Sports and event spectators for instance. Most days of the week thousands of people drive into venues that are well served by train stations within 500m. They choose to drive into gridlock. It’s insane.

[Reading The Pictures @ReadingThePix]

The fact these Israeli soldiers are using the utter destruction of Gaza for a selfie is ghastly. More significant, though, is the image's candidness and the fact the AP photographer, Tsafrir Abayov, captured these aggressors unaware of their inhumane and frivolous act.

[UPoC - United Photojournalists of Canada @PhotojsUnited]

A good example why pubs should limit use of handout pics. Too many CAN pubs use HO photos too frequently, with big risks. Harming trust in them and Journalism as a whole. Serious Journalism means hiring trusted photojournalists and experienced photo editors.

[TVO CMG is at work! @TVO_CMG]

Imagine @TheAgenda's episode on Ford's decision to reverse Greenbelt development. And @jm_mcgrath's column(s).

@TVO_CMG journalists are yearning for a fair deal so they can get back to work informing Ontarians.

If only TVO had some money somewhere...

BREAKING: “It was a mistake to open the Greenbelt,” Premier Doug Ford said, adding that the land opened to development would be returned to the protected area — which he says he will never touch again. #onpoli via @EmmaMci @fatimabsyed https://t.co/6GpOkqfJXo

@nickhunebrown @TheLocal_TO Thanks for the shout @nickhunebrown ! Always a pleasure to work on these stories with you.

[ewokspock @catsarov]

@alexbozikovic @KingaSurmaMPP @oliviachow All this is going to be needlessly destroyed. For what? A parking lot and a private spa.

[ewokspock @catsarov]

@Nghthawke1 @ndenette @MickeyDjuric It's PR. And PR from a government is literally propaganda. regardless of where it ends up.

[Harsha Walia (she/her) @HarshaWalia]

UN special rapporteur denounces Canada's temporary foreign worker program as "breeding ground for contemporary forms of slavery."

This is not about few bad employers, migrant worker programs are *structured* to create mass labour and social exploitation

Good news! So many positive outcomes from this litigation. These benefits extend way beyond trade photojournalism and should never have been allowed to have been clawed back but good on NPPA for fighting in the public interest.

[NPPA @NPPA]

BIG NEWS: The NYPD agrees to historic settlement with 5 photojournalists attacked and arrested in 2020. It also resolves a federal lawsuit brought by @NPPA and nationally recognized law firms.

@asifintoronto Toronto is unbearably tacky. 🧀

[ewokspock @catsarov]

@jessicaeaton Toronto is joyless. It’s sad seeing this city turn so ugly and hostile.

[ewokspock @catsarov]

This. Every weekend i see nthousands of people drive in to Toronto thinking they're going to have a fun time at some event. Instead they
spend hours stuck in maddening traffic on Lakeshore and the Gardiner. Maybe not so fun.

[Gil Meslin @g_meslin]

If the publicly-funded half-billion-dollar @ThermeCanada parking lot ever gets built, I hope the people that use it are really patient when it comes time to leave, via a single exit, crossing the Martin Goodman Trail.

[ewokspock @catsarov]

@KingaSurmaMPP This is privatization of public park land that no one asked for and no one wants. It stinks.

[UPoC - United Photojournalists of Canada @PhotojsUnited]

🧵Critical reporting via @FawcettAtkinson - one of best ways 🔥 & 🚨agencies can combat mis- & disinfo is let pro journalists have access. Yet in Canada, they often contribute to info vacuums by barring press. The public can’t understand what it can’t see https://t.co/71A1XxmV6B

@briketysplit So sad. So dumb.
