We investigate what's behind the deepening divisions between non-Indigenous and Mi'kmaw lobster fishers in Nova Scotia's largest fishery. Anxieties over lobster stocks and a crime wave in Clare region have reignited tensions and its tearing communities apart. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

My first segment with the fifth estate broadcasts tonight at 9pm. We investigated allegations made by some in the commercial lobster industry that Mi'kmaw treaty harvesting is fuelling crime and threatening lobster stocks. You can also watch it on YouTube now. youtu.be/iH-LOWvrgQE?...

Venture Academy received millions in federal funding before it was cut off in 2020 due to concerns about its residential program for youth. 4 years later, Venture's founder created a new company & funds began flowing. We found the two businesses are integrated. globalnews.ca/news/1133490...

Some personal news: I've left Global News to join the CBC's Fifth Estate. I'm already missing many of my Global colleagues, but I'm making documentaries again and couldn't be happier! Tips now go to: [email protected]

ICYMI: Our investigation into Venture Academy uncovered allegations of sexual abuse linked to the company's "host parents." I sat down with one of the four underage girls who say they were abused or assaulted by men who became their carers while attending the program. globalnews.ca/news/1132235...

This is the 2nd story in our series on Venture Academy, a teen treatment program with locations in Ontario, Alberta & previously BC. Our six-month investigation uncovered several allegations of girls being sexually abused by ‘host parents’ while enrolled in Venture. globalnews.ca/news/1132235...

I'm launching a new study on therapeutic boarding schools in Canada. I am looking for people who have previously been enrolled in a Canadian therapeutic boarding school. Research includes a brief, confidential online questionnaire. Please spread the word! hass.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

Little is known about the scale of the for-profit, or private, industry in Canada. Researcher @sgolightley.bsky.social, who likened Venture's program to other Troubled Teen institutions she's studied in the U.S., wants to change that. hass.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

Our six-month investigation into Venture Academy, marketed as 'Canada's leading program for struggling teens', reveals allegations it has caused dozens of youth psychological and emotional harm — despite years of red flags from government and child welfare agencies. globalnews.ca/news/1131892...

Here is one of the stories, with an Edmonton angle, I worked on with @kristahessey.bsky.social for which @globalnews.ca is a finalist for the Michener Awards this year. globalnews.ca/news/1062613...

Our series of investigations into federal procurement has been chosen as a finalist for the 2024 Michener Award! Journalists dream of winning this award, and even to be chosen as a finalist is an honour. www.michenerawards.ca/media-releas...

Follow along as the final results continue to trickle in:

After coming third in his B.C. riding, Singh said he plans to resign as NDP leader. His riding was redrawn and renamed Burnaby Central for the 2025 election, with changes that made the district slightly less favourable to the New Democrats. Liberal Wade Chang is projected to win the seat.

It’s not clear whether the Liberals will form minority or majority government yet. Arguably, this election was less about what was promised, and more about which leader invoked a sense of confidence with voters. In his short tenure, Carney was able to do that. globalnews.ca/news/1115458...

The Liberals and the Conservatives are going head-to-head on housing—the former vowing to eliminate the GST for first-time home buyers, and the latter planning to abolish it for all new home buyers. Which plan will resonate more with voters? thewalrus.ca/election-housing/

Sources have told Global News that Kai-Ji Adam Lo, the suspect in the deadly incident at Vancouver’s Lapu Lapu Day festival, has had 50+ interactions with police. Reported by Catherine Urquhart. globalnews.ca/news/1115231...

The Ipsos polling has the Liberals at 42 percent support nationwide, followed by 38 per cent for the Conservatives and single-digit support – just nine per cent – for Jagmeet Singh’s New Democrats.

If you’re still undecided on who to vote for, here’s a breakdown of everything you need to know on April 28. globalnews.ca/news/1114202...

Premier Ford gives a fairly positive endorsement of Carney's ability to work w Trump, citing his Wall Street resume. "If Mark wins, I think we’ll have a half decent relationship. Because they’re all from that New York group, Lutnick, the whole thing." He says Carney met with him, Poilievre hasn't.

A striking piece of visual journalism from @reuters.com. It includes statements from Israel explaining why they have repeatedly bombed historic landmarks. More often than not they accuse Hamas of building tunnels beneath the sites. 🧵

What I'm reading today: @chatelaineqc.bsky.social's profile of Anaida Poilievre. chatelaine.com/living/polit...

Israeli National Security Minister Ben-Gvir and top Republican leaders agreed in a meeting that Israel should continue bombing humanitarian aid in Gaza, Ben-Gvir has said — effectively admitting that he is getting express support from top U.S. leaders to commit war crimes and genocidal acts.

Today 25-year-old photojournalist Fatima Hassouna was killed in an Israeli airstrike that hit her home in northern Gaza. 10 members of her family, including her pregnant sister, were also killed. Your courage will be remembered, Fatima. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

We are less than 30 minutes away from Pierre Poilievre's platform launch and journalists covering the campaign still haven't seen a copy. Which means that they won't actually be able to ask him questions about the platform at a press conference to discuss his platform.

What's become of the NDP? Gary Mason asked around.

We found Therme misrepresented itself in its bid to secure the Toronto lease. The company has intertwined itself with its German namesake, with the full knowledge of the German side by the way, weaving a narrative over the best part of the past decade. We unspooled that.

When I moved to Toronto in August, in my neighborhood, in meetings & social gatherings, I kept hearing about Ontario Place & the Ontario govt contract w a European company to build a spa/water park. It felt like something that mattered to people so I decided to look into it

A @nytimes.com investigation reveals that "Therme has misrepresented itself, misleading the Ontario government and exaggerating its experience in its bid to secure the Toronto deal." To clinch the deal, the company boasted a business portfolio that didn't exist yet. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/16/w...

"Poilievre’s team has been pushing around journalists, telling them what they can and can’t film, who they can and cannot speak to...This isn’t just bad for the quality of our reporting, but a disquieting sign of how the Conservatives would approach the media if they form government."
