So embarrassing ⁦@Canada_Pavilion⁩ #cop27 planning event to showcase oilsands companies. Canada’s lobby record shows oil & gas company’s had 11,000 meetings with government in seven years. That’s roughly 6 meetings every work day. Guess it worked🧵 globeseries.com/event-evenemen…

Brilliant and devastating from The New Yorker . This will rank with "In Cold Blood" in terms of its impact. So much courage from Alice Munro's family, her daughter Andrea most particularly. And such amazing focus and synthesis from the writer, Rachel Aviv. newyorker.com/magazine/2024/…

The tragic self-destruction of a great newspaper continues. I had the privilege of working with Ruth Marcus for years and she is the best of the best. Whether you agree with her or not, she is the model of journalistic excellence and integrity. apnews.com/article/washin…

This is fraught terrain Mark Sutcliffe. Police already have ample powers to restrict protests at schools, hospitals & places of worship when needed. Anything further needs very careful study. Court challenges elsewhere already pending. Don't rush this. cbc.ca/news/canada/ot…
