Every year @aptnnews.bsky.social brings the team together in #Winnipeg for 'training week.' This week we had presentations from the Investigative Journalism Foundation and our colleague Kathleen Martin was back. #indigenous #cdnmedia

It occurred to me that this would have made a great episode of Canadaland. If I were still there, I'd have a team on it. Looking forward to hearing what happened. Mark Bourrie says there is a story coming this week.

What Canadaland did this week—apparently attempting to identify anonymous Reddit users by capturing their IP addresses—echoes an Ottawa Citizen investigation from more than a decade ago. Though years apart, both raise ethical and legal questions for #cdnmedia. open.substack.com/pub/karynpug...

PS. As far as I know, this was never implemented.

Not sure why a page from a two-year-old JSP draft with my name on it was used by Canadaland as bait in a sting, but here’s a part they didn't share re: clandestine reporting. No JSP I was part of would bypass a compelling public-interest justification & strict legal and ethical compliance #cdnmedia

Crazy. I only got an email.

It's blowing up all through the Canadaland subreddit www.reddit.com/r/canadaland... www.reddit.com/r/canadaland... www.reddit.com/r/canadaland...

For those following #Canadalandgate #Metoo : weird messages with links. Got one on Dm'd Bluesky, and four in an email.

The greatest sci-fi western that ever was. #BruceCampbell

ok. There is no reason for anyone to know this (unless you figured out I have an #EvilDead feed on bluesky) But I am a huge #BruceCampbell fan. He is iconic for those of us who love horror comedy, and B-movies. So saddened to hear this news.

Internal records show Ottawa’s funding plan for Jordan’s Principle falls short of the program’s recent needs by tens of millions of dollars. Denials doubled under Jordan’s Principle in 2024-25, while approved services also declined by millions #indigenous #cdnpoli #https://www.aptnnews.ca?p=284501

#Trump on #Greenland It will allow the US to “create a power that will make it impossible for the bad guys to do anything against the perceived good ones.” That's a laugh. The US can't even distinguish good guys from bad guys within their own borders So, like, no. tinyurl.com/2cexbtnp #uspoli

When I saw a #waymo (#autonomous vehicle) I had to try it. Downside: you can't ask it about the best restaurants, or if an area is safe to walk alone at night, like a human. But they're cheaper & I liked it- although I fear they'll run human drivers out of business then jack the price #av #sdv
