Amber Bracken is one of Canada’s greatest photojournalists, and for the RCMP to mistake observers for participants, arrest her and prevent her from doing her vital work is a deeply dangerous precedent. This case is important for all of us.

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.

Don Lemon is not the only reporter who was arrested by federal agents overnight — local independent journalist Georgia Fort just went live on FB to say federal agents were also at her door to take her into custody over her protest coverage in Minneapolis.

Spent waaaay too much time this morn wondering why the chair of a meeting incorrectly called everyone Emily. Her name isn't Emily! His name isn't Emily! What is happening?! Ohhhhh. Em-el-eh. MLA.

"Let us go." Immigration attorney Eric Lee shares a drawing by his five-year-old client, stuck in an immigration prison.

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Aaron Rupar does us all such a good service. The guy is clipping everything all day everywhere. Critical infrastructure.

Have a larger story on this coming, but I’ve been embedded with this group, and this story from yesterday is part of what they’ve been doing in the city: religionnews.com/2026/01/22/h...

Yesterday, I posted profiles of Canadian soldiers who died in Afghanistan. I hope you will have the time to read each of them. However short and fragmentary, each bears witness to the families, from Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Quebec, or Alberta, whose sons and daughters deployed to Kandahar.

As the exceptional @janapruden.bsky.social reports: the former officer was with Regina police for 22 years and he did 5 years with Calgary police before that.

Not loving today's This Feels Historic vibes.

I honestly hate fighting in hockey. Except for goalie fights: goalie fights are awesome.

The images and stories coming out of Minneapolis are extraordinary. We can't say we did not know what was happening. Lots of people are putting their bodies on the line to make sure we do.

Whatta quote "The ppl who risk their lives in defense of the Constitution have earned the right to the press freedoms of the 1st Amendment,” Slavin wrote. “We will not compromise on serving them with accurate and balanced coverage, holding military officials to account when called for.”

📌URGENT: Trump's regime is trying to turn Stars & Stripes into state-run media. I was the ME of S&S. It's MANDATED BY CONGRESS to be an editorially independent paper that reports ON the troops FOR the troops. So I type this with precision: The draft-dodging, America-attacking slob can KISS MY ASS.

The family of a First Nations man who died at Royal University hospital late last week feels they've been left in the dark by the SHA and police. 36 year old Trevor Dubois was in hospital receiving chemotherapy treatment when there was an altercation in his room with a security guard.
