Turns out my single greatest contribution to @thenarwhal.ca might be adding this emoji I made to our slack workspace 4 years ago.

We did it BC.

has anyone tried unplugging the mayor and plugging him back in

AI data centres, the Ring of Fire and more. It’s been a busy month for reporters at The Narwhal. Here’s @lmbaechlin.bsky.social with our first-ever news summary video, highlighting some of our stories.

We got a little silly for Valentine's Day at @thenarwhal.ca Our first quiz will help you find your Canadian lovebird! Hilarious writing by @michellecyca.com and excellent illustrations by @gabrielledrolet.bsky.social !! projects.thenarwhal.ca/lovebirds-qu...

Reminder: journalists get arrested in Canada too. In fact, The Narwhal is in court right now challenging the RCMP for arresting photojournalist Amber Bracken. Our editor-in-chief,Carol Linnitt, testifies today and Monday, and court is open to the public if you're in Vancouver.

an "integrity issue" that will take 3 years to fix has resulted in LNG Canada burning 15 times as much gas as expected and has had a "noticeable impact on the community" — but no penalties yet from the energy regulator. killer investigation by @laurenwatsonjourno.bsky.social & @writermjs.bsky.social

One more time... as I read of military deployments to Greenland. 🤦‍♂️

The Tyee spoke with our editor in chief, Carol Linnitt, about The Narwhal's press freedom case against the RCMP for arresting photojournalist Amber Bracken. thetyee.ca/News/2026/01...

Starting January 12th, The Narwhal will be in court. We sued the RCMP almost three years ago for the November 2021 arrest Amber Bracken while she was reporting on the Wet'suwet'en crisis for The Narwhal. thenarwhal.ca/press-freedom/

Hey! It's almost 2026! I made a calendar! It’s something that I’ve been doing for over 20 years for friends and family. The last 10 years I’ve posted a link so people can download and print their own.

We know you know it: quality journalism costs money. That’s why we’re always posting these appeals for your support — it’s not for fun! (For fun, we watch Heated Rivalry.) But how far does your dollar actually go toward funding our work? We crunched the numbers:

Our wee newsroom was never going to run the first Grand Bargain story, but @meyer.bsky.social and @drewanderson.bsky.social are absolutely the best at explaining what the pipeline of magical thinking means for the environment.

Trains regularly hit and kill wildlife across Canada. How big of a problem is it? @ainsliecruickshank.bsky.social explains what the data does — and doesn’t — tell us. #wildlife

Everyone get off Meta! They are still blocking news content in Canada.

Here's a read for the 42 million Canadians googling “lodged ball” tonight. thenarwhal.ca/opinion-blue...

I guess advertising still works?

Proud to work with this bunch.

Join @sevawood.bsky.social reporting in the field from Bella Bella, a #Heiltsuk village on the central coast of British Columbia.

An important story. So important I made 6 illustrations and 5 graphs for it. Go read!

Click for the excellent Jarett Sitter illustration. Stay for the fine reporting by @leahbortskuperman.bsky.social !!

People claim oil and gas in Canada isn't subsidized, but that's not true. Governments give away billions each year to hugely profitable companies through direct funds, tax breaks, preferential financing and more (including a pipeline). An explainer. #ableg #cdnpoli thenarwhal.ca/oil-and-gas-...

Our readers are the absolute best.

We are suing the RCMP for unlawfully arresting photojournalist Amber Bracken while reporting in Wetʼsuwetʼen territory. The Narwhal is doing this for all Canadian journalists' right to do their job without being arrested. Our readers are showing up in a big way for us and donating, will you?

Go read this.

We are making videos! You should watch them!

Send this to your uncle. You know the one. 😉

I’m happy to announce that there a an official sequel to the poopmoji gif. Shout out to @jsrutgers.bsky.social for doing the hard reporting work so I can make silly things like this animation. thenarwhal.ca/winnipeg-sew...

This needs to be sorted out. Why can't a new process to fund journalism be changed when it's clearly not fair and equitable?

Well this is fun to have my work highlighted! Brand and design is a team sport though, it has to be a priority through your entire organization from top to bottom. I’m so thankful for our team at @thenarwhal.ca where the everyone recognizes the power of telling ugly stories beautifully.

Go! Read!

Yeah @amberbracken.bsky.social !!

okay okay I know it's over now and we've moved on but I'd like a moment for my platform explainer header before we never see it again... thenarwhal.ca/2025-federal...

Please support these families. It is feeling very heavy in Vancouver. vanfilemergency.my.canva.site

We are hiring 📣📣📣 The Narwhal needs an assistant editor, someone to keep our copy tight, our layouts fresh and our reader inbox somewhere closer to zero than where mine is rn 🫣 thenarwhal.ca/hiring-an-as...

New interactive page for party platforms! 😄

We’ve long been told our award-winning visual journalism should include videos that make the conversation around climate change accessible to even more people. Meet @lmbaechlin.bsky.social, the person who’ll do exactly that — and make some darn good videos. thenarwhal.ca/manuel-baech...

Here’s what happens when there’s 6 dead birds at an oil and gas site #investigation #BritishColumbia #oilandgas

Drew just won the Hillman Prize a few days ago and then delivers another banger of a story! Go @drewanderson.bsky.social !!!!

Go watch EVERYONE’S LIVE on Netflix. So weird, but delightfully weird.

Political speeches are the ultimate use-case for watching video at 2x speed.

It is 2:01pm PDT right now. It feels like 11:31 am. Make the time change make sense. thenarwhal.ca/daylight-tim...

Let's get rid of the time change Canada!

The Narwhal asking the tough questions…

Maybe we should try speaking Star Wars to the USA? 🤷‍♂️

Every day I think that Putin is whispering instructions on how to destabilize Western democracy in Trump's ear and this NY Mag story from 2018 seems more and more plausible. The news conference with Zelenskyy in the Oval Office looks like Putin's fever dream. nymag.com/intelligence...
