The line in this courageous essay about her child not remembering her broke my heart. I hope she knows what an impact it had on so many people.

In a year-end interview, Premier Danielle Smith says her government used the notwithstanding clause to impose a new contract onto teachers because gov't worried an arbitrator would impose pupil-teacher ratios, as teachers said they wanted www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... #AbEd #AbLeg

The Atlantic has updated their article to correct some of Frum's mistakes. However they didn't correct his denialist stuff. I work 50 meters from a lab where they recently identified a body recovered from a GPR search. A child who died at residential school, and was finally returned to their family.

“You are not entitled to a response from us, or anyone, ever,” is what a US Education Department spokesperson wrote to one of our reporters, @megomatz.bsky.social, after she repeatedly tried to get comment from the department and its officials. My column on the condemnation of good journalism.

Obituary for Regina Court of King’s Bench Justice Michael Megaw. Megaw ruled in 2024 that litigation over the Sask pronoun rules could continue despite the province invoking notwithstanding clause. Megaw died of liver cancer at the age of 65. www.almassymetzfuneral.com/obituaries/M...

Yeah. Though, Mancinelli did address this in that clip, pointing out that the Massey Pool area is served by Wascana Park. And that loads of neighbourhoods have fewer or no rec amenities. But my thread was so rambly I didn't get into that. #yqrcc

It's a special surprise holiday edition of the Queen City Improvement Bureau where we wrap up the 2026 Regina city budget like we're wrapping up a particularly shitty gift. Give it a shake! Is it novelty socks? Or is it a 10.9% mill rate increase? #yqrcc queencityib.com/podcasts/202...

Mill rates are taxes charged based on the valuation of a property. It's an archaic tax model, but all we got at the municipal level. A 10% increase means that the rate is going up by that amount, and along with it what an owner pays. www.regina.ca/home-propert...

Expect a "revolt" among 60 Minutes staff over Bari Weiss pulling the CECOT segment at the last minute, one network insider told me. Another CBS News reporter added that a Rubicon had been crossed with this decision, which 60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi called "political" and not editorial.

the sole thing about this that is not dispiriting is that the blowback is so public and immediate

“When it fails to air without a credible explanation, the public will correctly identify this as corporate censorship. We are trading 50 years of ‘gold standard’ reputation for a single week of political quiet.” www.nytimes.com/2025/12/21/b...

All of these links went to promotion of this story earlier today. All these links are dead now — that's how thoroughly they've scrubbed this.

CBS News EIC Bari Weiss had concerns about the CECOT piece, I’m told. The network decided to hold the segment pending, among other things, comment or an interview with White House officials next year…

WASHINGTON (AP) — At least 16 files from Epstein release disappeared from DOJ webpage, including photo of Trump, with no explanation.

It is legitimately hilarious that they couldn't figure out what to do with the "The" before JFK's name so it looks even more tacked on.

This just passed. City council cut its heritage grant program in half. It was told the program is already overprescribed meaning more people want the money. Councillors also seemed to fundamentally not understand that money in the grant program is used for maintenance to MAINTAIN heritage status.
