The wonderful Walrus magazine published a feature story on the Migrant Trail with my photo - thank you! (For some reason, all my favorite Canadian magazines are named after animals🐬🐟🦭 <- this is as close as it gets to narwhals, tyees, and walrusses in the land of emojis)

Writer @DiCintio joined a group of activists who perform an annual walk across the US–Mexico border in honour of migrants who died making the journey. Here, he reflects on what the pilgrimage means—and what it doesn’t mean:

Was bedeutet Metas Nachrichtenblockade in #Kanada für die Menschen, die vor den Waldbränden fliehen müssen? Darüber habe ich mit Azadê Peşmen vom @zeitonline-Podcast #WasJetzt gesprochen: https://t.co/zIJuMI0kDs (1’50-5’22 + Ende)

The eerie glow of the wildfires reached #Vancouver today for the first time this year, just in time for B.C.'s state of emergency. While an area twice the size of Ireland burned in #Canada and NYC was engulfed in smoke, we had blue skies thanks to the Passat winds.

@luckylotus10 Agree, we can always go right to the source instead. Ironically, Facebook makes itself more irrelevant if it doesn't want to act as an intermediary anymore.

"Our coverage was mostly provided by journalists writing updates from their cars, phoning people, and researching evacuee resources while being driven out of danger by their friends or partners." I am impressed by the dedicated crew at @CabinRadio: https://t.co/GAOkhUEzL6 (1/2)

No a carbon tax won’t stop wildfires but it helps. Let me spell out the connection for you. Close to 90% of the emissions trapped in our atmosphere causing climate change are from oil, gas and coal. 🧵#cdnpoli

This is NOT a good time for #Meta to be banning news for Canadians on Facebook. It pains me as a journalist to be delivering critical public safety information on Twitter alone. https://t.co/CTrZ5i7sPW #BCWildfire

BREAKING: Premier David Eby announced a provincial state of emergency at a news conference Friday. https://t.co/3oy0HHuKr3

This is the Member of Parliament for Kelowna…while her city is being evacuated as a result of wildfires. Making climate policy a divisive electoral issue while hundreds of thousands are being evacuated due to the climate emergency is beyond tone deaf. It’s terrifying. #cdnpoli

Gerade zum letzten Mal für @zeitonline gepodcastet. Nach acht Jahren in Nordamerika kehre ich bald nach Deutschland zurück - für nächtliche Updates leider die falsche Zeitzone😢Habe gerade mal in eine meiner ersten Folgen reingehört, damals noch aus SF🌉https://t.co/PbL9pm4PZM

People in #Canada will no longer be able to view or post news stories on Facebook or Instagram. Lawmakers had asked Meta to pay publishers for displaying their content, this is the company's reaction. https://t.co/5n9UK5WNRM

If you have 15mn to spare, watch this documentary by Ani Mrelashvili! It gives me Aki Kaurismäki vibes and a bit of Wes Anderson. What a magical place this backroom office is, a window to Georgia in the midst of Berlin. https://t.co/31eLVRBFpH

Terrifying evolution of the more than 110 current #Wildfires in my home province of #Alberta. A state of emergency has been declared, thousands evacuated. It's only May.

How many more historics before we #ActOnClimate

(1/3) Twitter’s own policy defines government-funded media as cases where the government “may have varying degrees of government involvement over editorial content,” which is clearly not the case with CBC/Radio-Canada.

Our journalism is impartial and independent. To suggest otherwise is untrue. That is why we are pausing our activities on @Twitter. | Notre journalisme est impartial et indépendant. Prétendre le contraire est faux. C’est pourquoi nous suspendons nos activités sur @Twitter.

That Canadian PM Justin Trudeau's Liberal Party was the intended beneficiary of Beijing's interference in Canada's election is no reason not to fully investigate and publicize this effort to manipulate democracy, even if it may have had no effect. https://t.co/sIiVhS9m2Y
