“As we stand outside this courthouse, stepping into five weeks of trial, we know the legitimate right of journalists to do their job, to perform their vital role in our democracy, is at stake.” — Narwhal co-founder Carol Linnitt on our case against the RCMP: thenarwhal.ca/press-freedom/

I just read the @niemanlab.org’s predictions for journalism, they said “We guarantee the death of most remaining newsrooms.”
At the same time our newsletter written by the amazing @melissakchan.bsky.social says, “Things have never felt so dangerous.”

This story was a big undertaking so we wanted it to have a big impact. That’s why we partnered with @globalreportingcentre.org accessing train data through their partnership with @cnsmd.bsky.social

Railway tracks in B.C. sit far from public view, and that’s one reason many people have no idea how often trains kill wildlife. Weak reporting from rail companies keep the scale of these strikes out of sight.

I had preeclampsia during my pregnancy. One reminder I got constantly from the nurses, OBs, internal medicine doctors, and maternal fetal medicine doctors was to immediately report a headache that didn’t improve after taking Tylenol. This is lifesaving advice for pregnant people with preeclampsia.
