“I'm convinced of this: Good done anywhere is good done everywhere. For a change, start by speaking to people rather than walking by them like they're stones that don't matter. As long as you're breathing, it's never too late to do some good.”

A small group of Afghan women risked their safety on Tuesday to test the Taliban's promise to respect women’s rights: They stood holding signs demanding the right to work and go to school mere feet from armed Taliban fighters. https://t.co/54iGHy3sOJ

BREAKING: The CAJ and other media orgs have won our court challenge against the RCMP in their restriction of press freedom at Fairy Creek in B.C.

This is a win for journalists reporting there and for all journalists across the country. The media will not be suppressed.

Home-based #dessert businesses selling over-the-top cakes to specialty #cookies have been on the rise. How are they competing with in-person based bakeries also selling goodies?

Go ahead and protest the curfew, but why in the world are you vandalizing businesses that had zero say in the decision you're protesting?

The CAJ condemns Bell Media for slashing, without proper notice, more than 200 journalism jobs this past week, and urges the @CRTCeng to step up and protect Canadian broadcasting.

Let us be clear: this situation is a national disgrace.

@fatimabsyed My sincere condolences Fatima💗

I know surveys aren't the coolest or most fun thing to talk about but I've spent my entire career talking about the lack of diversity in Canadian media without hard evidence.

American media has data. We don't. We're trying to fix that with this diversity survey. Please help.

1) For three days in late June, Montreal reported no new cases of #COVID19 — a stunning turnaround in the #pandemic. But for the past three days this fall, the metropolis’s daily tally has averaged 362 cases. What went wrong? In this thread, I will offer possible explanations.

[Skye Legault @skye_legault]

excited for this opportunity 🤍

If you can’t bring yourself to use the words ‘systemic racism’ when two nurses tell an Indigenous woman she’s garbage, promiscuous and a drain on the state and it’s all right there on film AND the woman dies shortly after the encounter, maybe you’re part of the problem.

”The level of ice loss revealed by the group matches the worst-case-scenario predictions outlined by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)”

Earth has lost 28 trillion tonnes of ice in less than 30 years. #FaceTheClimateEmergency
