Yesterday, Noor Javed won Canada's top journalism award. I — & countless Muslim reporters — wouldn't exist if she didn't break the brick wall first. Watching her use the 🏆 to continue advocating for marginalized journalists will stay with me forever. One of Canada's best reporters!

Members of non-Muslim communities are also saying this.

Buildings are Toronto’s largest source of greenhouse gas emissions. Builders prefer to plan for low costs over low carbon, but the city’s ambitious net-zero plans might give them no choice.

A necessary look at the actual youth impacted by anti-trans policies; Ziya Jones did an excellent job at capturing these youth’s great resilience, while also showing how they’re just children, who should be allowed to live out normal childhoods & not have to show such strength.

I've been thinking a lot about why this picture made me cry. It is reminiscent of Gaza: an etching of those who used to be there -- who the land should belong to -- but who are no longer allowed to be there. It's lives being forcefully erased but facing resistance.

Three levels of government spent $824 million of taxpayer money on the renovation of Toronto's Union Station and you're telling me they didn't prepare for heavy rains???!?!?! And you want me to care about Presto being on Apple wallet instead?!??!

the ICJ has ruled that Israel’s occupation of Palestine is illegal — meanwhile, Canadian universities are filing lawsuits and charges against their own students and faculty for protesting institutional complicity in Israel’s crimes. cbc.ca/amp/1.7264630

A year ago, my relationship with journalism changed forever. ~128 Palestinian journalists/media workers have been killed by Israeli strikes. Those remaining are the reason I'm still here. Journalism matters — but evidently not enough this past year. thestar.com/news/gta/how-a…

I was beyond honoured to receive a PEN Canada award - the 2024 Ken Filkow Prize - for expanding freedom of expression. It may have been the first award for a Cdn journalist who supports Palestinian rights. I dedicated it to those of you risking and losing so much for justice. 💜

Samira Mohyeddin is an award-winning journalist who has been on the receiving end of a lot of online harassment for her Gaza coverage, including by one Ontario MPP. This is unacceptable. Ideological differences aside, journalists shouldn't feel unsafe on the job.

The digital content creator industry is a multibillion-dollar powerhouse. But how much do those at the heart of it really earn? I spoke with creators about their earnings in my latest for The Globe and Mail👉bit.ly/410GR7t.

At this point it should be clear to anyone with half an ounce of morality that you can’t take anyone who calls it the Gaza “conflict” seriously.

This is critical information that CPFP has collected about how HonestReporting Canada has targeted 384 individual media workers since October 2023. This extensive harassment and targeting should be of concern to everyone concerned with press freedom and democracy.

Hamdan Ballal — the co-director of No Other Land — has been kidnapped and beaten (and allegedly lynched). The fact that there is barely any coverage of this is horrifying.
