#Palestine: [UPDATE 3.12.2025] Photojournalist Mahmoud Wadi was killed by an Israeli drone strike in Khan Yunis, southern Gaza, on 2 December. We condemn his killing and call for justice. The perpetrators of crimes against journalists must not go unpunished.

I heard great things about this North Van coffee shop, so I went to visit a friend today to grab coffee and was delighted to see the way it was set up with the Mind Flayer on the roof, thinking it was a permanent fixture only to find out it was just a part of their Halloween decorations still up.

Global News laid off 26 journalists in B.C. and Alberta today.

In B.C. the layoffs include virtually all of the online team, along with many others.

The business is increasingly cruel, and the hollowing out of newsrooms providing fair and reliable information continues to suck.

It's incredible I somehow made it 10 years in the news biz without being laid off but my luck ran out today. Sad to see a quality team torn apart. Spare a thought for your local journos who are ever being asked to do more with less, especially if you're tempted to dunk on the MSM.

There are folks who like to take "sides" in local media, cheering for or against organizations or journalists like they're heroes or villains in the ongoing struggle for truth.

But in B.C., it's more like an ecosystem. There are places you might like less or more, but they all contribute.
Global is a really important part of BC’s news ecosystem

Just to name one example, they were able to break a series of important stories about the Noelle O’Soup case globalnews.ca/news/9032414...

The babies who were conceived during the famine and whose mothers were undernourished while their brains were being built—those brains were smaller. When those people were adults, their brains were wired in a different way.

A Quebec fisherman who was fishing 15 kilometers north of the US border was essentially kidnapped by US Border Patrol, who capsized his boat and dragged him to an American prison cell.

In any normal time this'd be quite the international incident, y'know?

Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs.

A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which is about to get cut.

If Bezos can spend $50M on a wedding, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.

If we look to history, or to global contemporary movements, there is one constant: the only way to stop tyranny is through workers walking off the job.

And yet, the lack of union density in the US has primed it for a fascist take-over.

Unions are a bullwork against fascism. That means that Canadians have to build our labour militancy too.

Amen.
Canada is in a trade war with the U.S.—we can’t afford to lose control of our news and media.

Without the CBC, foreign and corporate interests will dictate our news, silence independent journalism, and leave Canadians uninformed.

Poilievre's Indigenous policy looks a lot like a threat. This is him saying the feds will cut funding for ISC, replace it with tax room - and if we allow resource development in our territories, we can tax it to replace the money the feds took. I.E. let the pipeline through, or no drinking water.
