Hi, yes, g'morning. This is awkward.

But targeting a reporter - hi! - with
surreptitiously obtained photos and details of her tooling around town is an attack on the public's right to know.

What an incredible feature story! ❤️

You can win two Grey Cups, but you are only truly a champion when you are your authentic self.

Thank you, Maven for your incredible strength, resilience, and courage. You are still leading the way to victory. 🏳️‍⚧️

So happy to have my @theglobeandmail.com feature about Edmonton wrestler Sage Morin (aka The Matriarch) turned into an episode of The Decibel.
Sage is an amazing and inspiring person, and the Decibel team did an amazing job with this episode. Give it a listen:

Women have been fighting hard to make a new place in professional rodeo. And this year, the Calgary Stampede is including breakaway roping as a full event for the first time.
Wondering what breakaway is, and why it matters? I’ve got you covered, Cowpoke:

This is a good piece by @janapruden.bsky.social.
Qs:
1. This officer served in Calgary prior to Regina. Did similar crimes happen in Calgary?
2. If convicted, will his sentence reflect the scope & impact of his crimes? (It's not often the case for police.)
