Hi everyone, I have some big personal news: I’m moving back to Winnipeg! Thrilled to be The Globe and Mail’s Manitoba reporter, as I join the incredible @globeandmail national team to tell stories out of this beautiful, unpredictable, sardonic and ever-evolving region of Canada. – at Winnipeg, Manitoba

To be clear: Some facts are neither in dispute nor unclear. Our photographer was clearly marked as Press. She was clearly beaten. These are not partisan or risible statements, but indisputable. We urge a thorough investigation and accountability.
The Prime Minister’s Office: The facts surrounding the confrontation near Abu Falah, during which Washington Post photojournalist Heidi Levine was allegedly assaulted, remain unclear and are under investigation. Israel unequivocally condemns violence against anyone—Jews, Arabs, Christians or journalists. Those responsible will be held accountable. But serious questions remain. Reports indicate some 200 Arabs and far-left activists confronted approximately 40 Israeli youths. Footage shows masked individuals on both sides hurling objects, amid reports of fireworks fired at Jewish youths. Other footage appears to show Levine knocked down and immediately helped to her feet by the same unidentified individual. The investigation must establish the facts, including who initiated the violence. We will not allow disputed incidents to be exploited to demonize the hundreds of thousands of law-abiding Jewish residents of Judea and Samaria. The facts must determine the conclusions. Not the headlines.

Good on the reporter here for steamrolling past that staffer for trying to move on from the measles question.
Reporter: Has the war had an impact on your campaign at this point? Staffer: We’re not going to talk about that. Reporter: Mr. Secretary, do you believe that five deaths, potentially six, from measles in the state of Pennsylvania— Staffer: We’re also not going to talk about measles. Reporter: He’s the highest ranking health official in the country. He can answer that question. He’s a Cabinet secretary. RFK JR: The measles outbreak is occurring because so many people went unvaccinated during the COVID pandemic. And this is something that Anthony Fauci, in fact, predicted

She was one of the best. A damn good reporter and a lovely person as an added bonus.
A colleague at CP who covered the 2003 SARS outbreak and catapulted from that into a decades-long career as a world-leading health reporter. What a loss.

This video has been all over my timeline and I dismissed it as not possibly living up to the hype and boy oh boy was I wrong.
Watch this to the end, you won’t regret it. This is what happens when you’re at happy hour and are reminded you agreed to do an interview about your race.

Informative story in @NewYorker on opioid settlement spending. Would have loved, though, to see any sort of attribution for this graf. I’m the only person I’m aware of who has compiled, analyzed and published this info. It took me weeks in ‘26 and ‘25. newyorker.com/news/the-lede/…

POV: You told a rude Québécois kid who gave you grief for daring to speak English that fries are better with ketchup than as poutine, so now he's folk-dancing to defend the village's honour.

Likes of DuVernay, Affleck and Boyle proudly using AI suggests ever-gaping disconnect between filmmakers and audiences that goes beyond tech itself and points to fundamental ignorance. Vast majority of us don't want this shit. Stop doing it. And certainly stop boasting about it.
