'The Court is in an ethical crisis of its own making, and Justice Alito and the rest of the Court should be doing everything in their power to regain

I don’t know how else to frame it. We can’t afford housing. Healthcare is collapsing. Climate change is going to decimate us.

This isn't a hard question. Journalistically, when one side is provably lying, you say they're lying.

If you don't say a liar is lying, you are lying.

This is a crisis in our industry. We're not in the business of protecting powerful liars. We're in the business of what's true.

Well, that was really not cool. A PC official being interviewed on CBC election coverage just cast doubt on election integrity. That is not okay. Canada has some of the strongest electoral processes in the world. This kind of Trumpian nonsense needs to stop. #ManitobaElections

Notice how he disrespects Calgary’s mayor in two different ways here: using her first name and then deliberately misspelling/Anglicizing it.

But he’s right: the next muni elections will be huge. Progressives better show up in numbers if they don’t want Parker calling the shots.

Alberta has 2,200 fewer Educational Assistants today than one year ago.

At a salary of $26,400 - it's no wonder they can't hire anyone new.
