On behalf of all women throughout all of time, thank you for pursuing this with the exact level of energy and indignation it deserves. Your journalism is salve for the soul, truly.

An event sponsored by the University of Manitoba and the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation was recently held in Winnipeg to help inform the public on the impact of residential schools and to combat the denialism spreading across the country.

And if we want to avoid the Mass Effect effect in Canada, we should be keeping private equity out, not welcoming it in.

Can someone tell Alberta separatists offering goodies to Washington for support that Colonel Sanders does not typically make deals with chickens, Steve Burgess writes. “The would-be separatists might as well have coated themselves with 11 different herbs and spices.” thetyee.ca/Opinion/2026...

I was just telling my wife that it feels like something has changed where Dems no longer let obvious MAGA lies fester uncontested.

“Of course, we need to educate boys about consent, but we need to reframe the conversation. Why [do some men] even desire sex with an unconscious woman?”

Students made their first minicomics in my intro making course - mostly standard format but this student, a first time maker(!), did something so off the charts I’m still reeling from it! & he made like 12 of them for his classmates! A paper engineering feat of flipbookery as well as killer drawing!

Big Oil raked in record-breaking profits. The companies that caused the climate crisis are getting rich as they fuel the fire. @ExxonMobil: $55.7 billion @Shell: $39.87 billion @Chevron: $35.5 billion @BP_plc: $27.7 billion No time to wait. #ActOnClimate #panelsnotpipelines #cdnpoli

In overruling Edmonton's elected council, Municipal Affairs Minister Dan Williams actually said that those who supported the bylaw were "unAlbertan and UnCanadian." The hypocrisy of Danielle Smith complaining about federal overreach at the news conference was next level.

We don’t save Canada by sacrificing our environment and constitutional protections on the altar of private profits. Bill C-39 is an unmitigated disaster, and Canadians will be fighting back.

Mark Carney is rapidly remaking Canada's economy (shock-doctrine-style) to supply "The World" with resources. But they aren't his to sell. I spoke to CBC Front Burner about the deals behind the flag waving. @cbcradiocanada.bsky.social

A powwow club has recently opened in Winnipeg’s downtown Exchange District to teach community members of all ages traditional dances, songs and the history behind them, all in a welcoming and safe space to do so.

I've reached out to the campaign of Greene-Placentia's opponent, Republican incumbent Abe Hamadeh, for comment on her rape allegations. Will update if he responds.

New from me: separatist lawyer Jeffrey Rath has asked a court to withdraw additional funds frozen during a legal dispute with two First Nations former clients. The court said no, pending full disclosure of his assets. edmontonjournal.com/news/jeff_ra...

The police said she lied about being raped. Then she hit record.
