“The issue of digital sovereignty isn’t new. When Toronto chose Google’s Sidewalk Labs for a ‘smart city’ development project in 2017, there was a lot of excitement, but public backlash over data use soon followed.” – @juliesobowale.bsky.social

The Trump presidency has led to urgent conversations about the resilience of Canada's digital infrastructure in light of our deep integration with the US. I spoke with @juliesobowale.bsky.social for this @cba-nationalmag.bsky.social article on digital sovereignty nationalmagazine.ca/en-ca/articl...

When we talk about Canada's sovereignty, let's not forget about digital infrastructure. My latest article @cba-nationalmag.bsky.social covers what we need to do. There's no easy answers but it's time to take it seriously.

Washington Post laid off many of their staff photographers, too. Which seems missing from a lot of coverage I’ve read.

The Washington Post but it’s ‘The Traitors’

So much going on, but make time for this piece by @wencyleung.bsky.social. A gorgeous, surprisingly uplifting story that tackles an enormous subject, really the biggest subject, and tells is with such careful intimacy. thelocal.to/cost-of-canc... #longreads

Finally saw The Testament of Ann Lee and I loved it. What a strange and satisfying film

Wrote about the largest Canadian AI company and lessons learned from Cohere’s mistakes #AI

Today is a good reminder why I cancelled my NYT subscription

Buried in the Doug Ford govt's fall budget are changes that would remove parts of Wasaga beach from provincial protection. As I reported in August, those parts are 60% of the world’s longest freshwater beach and the main nesting area for the endangered piping plover: thenarwhal.ca/wasaga-beach...

So glad this is being covered. We need to talk more about what the tech industry values and how this affects our communities

Well at least we get an extra night of sleep tonight #worldseries

Extra innings!?!?!?! Omg

Of course the game is this close #worldseries

What a fun game. So good

This is incredible

I’m so sleepy but I can’t stop watching

IT’S STILL GOING! #bluejays

Derek Guy talking about SCC Christmas dresses is freaking fantastic

One Battle After Another is the right movie at the right time. It’s a movie about resistance and family. The marketing for this film was awful but now that I’ve seen it, I get it. Lots of surprises

THIS SATURDAY: The fourth annual Butter Tart Festival. With plenty of butter tart options, including gluten free, dairy free, nut free, and vegan & more fun and activities. The Market is located at 6154 Abbott St. East. atthebarn.ca/butter-tart-...

Y'all got recommendations for independent news / publications run by journalists from underrepresented communities? In particular, journalists of color?

The words we use to talk about nature are disappearing. Here’s why that matters. We’ll need to do more than "touch grass" to revive them. grist.org/language/nat... #Nature #Words #Language #Culture #Climate #Diction #Writing #Writers

Ughhhhh #usopen

Can’t remember the last time ppl were so hyped for a doubles match #usopen

With Williams and Townsend, I’m seeing more excitement for women’s doubles. We need it #usopen

Venus Williams and Leylah Fernandez are the feel good story of the tournament. #usopen

Between the Medvedev Meltdown, Ostapenko complaining over Townsend not apologizing over a net cord that wasn't even a clean winner, and Tsitsipas complaining about an underarm serve from over an hour ago at the net, this US Open isn't short of drama.

Why is Coco Gauff trying to fix her serve when she's won Grand Slams? #usopen

My take on the biggest #legaltech story of the year

I love Taylor Townsend. That’s all

Venus Williams reminding everyone who she is #usopen

Canada has a lot to think about when it comes to AI and criminal law. My latest article from @cba-nationalmag.bsky.social

Anyone else affected by #belloutage? I have 5 mtgs scheduled this afternoon 🫠

It’s an honour to be a finalist. Thank you to everyone who spoke to me. This was a difficult article to write and I appreciate my editor @carineabouseif.bsky.social and fact checker Arthur Hamdani for your support.

In Clarksdale, there's limited transportation and no movie theater. The town inspired Sinners, but many can't travel to see it in theaters. They created a petition to invite Ryan Coogler & team to host a public screening and experience the Delta. MY LATEST: capitalbnews.org/clarksdale-r...

The top 3 use cases of Generative AI in 2025: 1. Therapy/companionship 2. Organizing my life 3. Finding purpose 2 and 3 weren't on last year's top 100. I believe lawyers' human service/relationship skills will help them thrive despite AI. But I could be wrong about that. hbr.org/2025/04/how-...

Took 45 minutes to vote. Folks saying they never seen this before

A tale of two movies: Similar deal structures. Similar budgets. One made $45M from 3300 screens, post pandemic, and won the weekend. The other made $41M from 3600 screens pre-pandemic, and placed second. And yet this is the coverage.

I need people to go see Sinners in IMAX. It’s a celebration of Black culture and so funny, sexy, and scary #sinners

Thank you to everyone who spoke to me. Five months after my investigation, Allard has yet to address the issues raised. There are others who wanted to share their stories but they're afraid of retaliation. What does that say about academic freedom?

In other news, the Trump administration issued an executive order in January calling for less AI regulation. My story on what this means for Canada
