This week we met with our Canadian news partners to discuss the implications of C-18, the Online News Act. This new law creates a lot of uncertainty among Canada indie publishers, but it also presents an opportunity to innovate our audience outreach efforts. (Cont'd) (1/19)

It was a privilege to spend time hanging out with centenarians living in Regina assisted-living facilities last summer so I could tell their stories. Centenarians are a fast growing demographic of Canada's population, which will increase the demands on our health care system.

Stories that never make it outside the rectangle… sigh… Someday the national media will learn Saskatchewan is a happening place, sometimes for all the wrong reasons… … but I still love it here.
Replying to @zakvescera

From the #Indiegraf network: "In 2021, Pallister said provincial parks are public property. “The public has the right to have a chance to invest in their own facilities and enhance them and strengthen them,” he said." (Via @flatlandermedia) ow.ly/O84G50KCuuO

Yesterday was a big day! We launched a founding members campaign. When The Flatlander was founded, I promised to do things differently. Instead of relying on powerful interests for funding, we rely on regular citizens. (1/3) theflatlander.ca/support-us/…
