Personal update: After seven years as OpenMedia’s Executive Director, I have decided to begin my next chapter. It was a difficult decision to leave an organization I love so much, but it’s time for new challenges.
If you’d like to meet up over a coffee or Zoom, let me know! I’m overdue to catch up with so many of you, and it feels a bit surreal to finally have this space and time to do so. And if you see something you think might be a good fit for me, I’m all ears.
If you’re reading this, and are looking for help, I love policy, government relations, and communications, and would love to put my public affairs skill set to use for a worthy cause.
"The only way to restore trust is by taking action. It’s one thing to say you’re serious about #privacy; it’s another thing to show it," writes @ltribe, Executive Director @OpenMediaOrg via @TheHillTimes

Given that the government has no Plan B, this was predictable. But to be clear, the law hasn’t taken effect yet nor has widespread blocking. This is about refusal to *negotiate* with @pablorodriguez about a law that has already received royal assent.
Parker Lund, a spokesperson for the Liberal Party, told The Globe Wednesday that the party is not changing its policy.
“We will continue to advertise on Meta platforms,” he said.

We have decided to take the necessary step of suspending all Government of Canada advertising to Facebook.
We cannot continue paying advertising dollars to Meta while they refuse to pay their fair share to Canadian news organizations.

Tired of Big Telecom's monopoly on fibre internet? There's 1 WEEK remaining to tell the CRTC to take action.
This is our change to mandate fibre access for independent providers and break up the monopoly. https://t.co/iaCDWtiVeQ #EnforceFibreWholesale via @OpenMediaOrg
