This is so sad. In my time doing PR, I found @Metroland reporters to be some of the most reliably community-minded journalists out there. Folks like @thatmikeadler @TamaraShephard @IainMissiNews @TONewsAndrew . Thx for keeping ppl informed about the issues that most impact them
Metroland to cease print publication of dozens of community newspapers across Ontario. The move involves 605 layoffs, nearly two-thirds of the workforce. thestar.com/news/canada/metr… via @torontostar #cdnmedia #journalism

Each year, lawmakers and defense lobbyists play the same game, pouring hundreds of billions into the Pentagon without scrutinizing every dollar—and it's taxpayers who lose.
Today, I invited witnesses to play JeoparDoD, to win oversight for the American people.

Last yr Marjorie Taylor Greene was featured speaker at a white supremacist event where her fellow speakers praised Hitler & called for Fauci to be hanged. Attendees chanted "Putin" as bombs dropped on Ukraine
The GOP just gave her a seat on the House Homeland Security Committee

I still don’t think people understand what it means for 33 million people to be displaced. That’s 6 times more people than those internally displaced in Ukraine from war, that’s roughly 90% of the population of Canada.
That’s how many people are internally homeless right now

Closely watching Florida's CD 11 tonight where anti-Muslim extremist Laura Loomer is running to unseat incumbent Dan Webster. Polling is quite close at the moment - with NYT reporting Loomer in the lead with 49% v 46% for Webster. Still early. A refresher: huffpost.com/entry/laura-loo…

The podcast about Indian residential schools I've been working on launches next week. It’s more than just work to me. I believe if Canada had its way I wouldn’t be here. The point of the schools was to get rid of people like me. This story needs to be told hyperurl.co/kuperisland

Congregants at a Mississauga mosque (that I have frequented) held off a man with an axe and other weapons at morning prayers today.
We're days before the first post-Covid Ramadan when everyone will be back at mosques properly. This is terrifying.

True story.
So a father was asleep at home with his two kids, 1 & 3, when the police bust in the door around 4:30 a.m. Dad fires one shot at the door because he wakes up and just sees a guy in his house. Realizes after he shoots that it's a cop and puts the gun down.
