For @TheVarsity, I studied the #UniversityofToronto's craziest cheating cases, from assaulting a TA to having your girlfriend(s) write all your essays.

Canada has grappled with the rising cost of groceries for years. But did you know the government privately considered much stronger legislation against giant grocers in 2023?

The Canadian government was preparing "binding legislation" to force grocery giants to adopt rules meant to stabilize food prices. That included making “egregious behaviours that harm the food supply chain” illegal and subject to fines. The legislation was never passed

My name is Maeve Ellis and I'm a reporter with theijf.org, a newsroom based in #Toronto. I'm currently analyzing data which suggests a stark decline in the number of waterfowl on Toronto's beaches.

I'd love to hear from Torontonians about your thoughts on the geese and ducks on Toronto's beaches.

Are you a Canadian health-care worker who has thoughts on using AI in your job?

I'm writing for @theijf.org about new data showing that AI has made the health-care sector particularly susceptible to job loss from AI.

If you're free for a quick call please DM me or email maeve.ellis@theijf.org.

One fun fact from journalism research today — bird migration paths are called "flyways" (like "highways").

I analyzed new federal data about AI-adoption in Canadian workforces for @theijf.org.

My main finding: It's universally growing — and replacing more jobs than it's creating.

Honda's $1 billion EV project postponement only came after a flurry of talks with government officials including Justin Trudeau
#Honda Canada met with 27 different government leaders this year, leading up to its postponement of a highly anticipated $15 billion electric vehicle project in Ontario. It’s likely the company argued against Ottawa’s goals for electric vehicles, according to one industry expert.
Honda lobbied Ottawa 16 times in 2025 before postponing $15 billion project
In the months leading up to the postponement of a $15-billion electric vehicle project in Ontario, Honda representatives extensively lobbied federal officials.
