this is so incredibly frustrating— after the federal government denounced Bell Media for laying off workers, then let the funding for their own public journalism program lapse without any explanation

This is surreal. Thinking about the Roberts family and the dedicated journalists who work at this paper. I spent countless hours in this newsroom and I’ll always remember it fondly.
