As the expiry date nears for two of Thomson Reuters’ contracts with the United States Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement, one B.C. union is sounding the alarm over human rights concerns. @isaacphannay.bsky.social reports. #uspoli #bclab

Full story by @isaacphannay.bsky.social: 'Lewis won decisively on a platform that included expanding universal health care, transitioning off fossil fuels, and affordability measures such as government-owned grocery stores.' thetyee.ca/News/2026/03...

Wab Kinew scrummed with reporters about half an hour ago. He's much more positive than Nenshi and Beck, saying relations will be "very good" and the two groups will get to work right away. Kinew added he's not concerned that Lewis said he won't support new fossil fuel projects. #cdnpoli #canpoli

Glad bigger outlets are writing this kind of thing, but holy hell are the comments a wild ride. Suddenly everyone pretends that boycotting media empires doesn’t achieve anything, when a few months ago people were sure proud of doing it to get Jimmy Kimmel back on TV.

Where does new federal NDP Leader Avi Lewis stand on LGTQ2S+ issues? Of note, his campaign was the only of the race's three frontrunners to fully respond to Xtra's request for comment when we asked back in February. Here's what he said: xtramagazine.com/power/politi...

At any one time I have between 2 and 17 teenagers in my house and yes this is exactly the vibe

Some cracks are already forming in the NDP under Avi Lewis. In a sharp statement just now, Alberta NDP Leader Naheed Nenshi says the federal party's direction is "not in the interests of Alberta." In sum, Nenshi supports more oil and gas development. Lewis does not. #cdnpoli #canpoli

can we confront reality and address the fascist movement in Canada this is very very serious

What would you do if a facility permitted to handle toxic waste moved in next to your rural home. Then you started getting wafts of foul chemical smells when the wind blew? Smells that gave you headaches, irritated your mouth and nose For some residents of Rolla, it's been happening for years

Canada has a unique opportunity to hold Big Tech companies like OpenAI accountable for the harms built into their products. But we don't seem interested. www.thestar.com/opinion/star...

Update to this #vanpoli story: a reader alerted me that the @VanShittyTV1 X account that repeatedly posted super gross images of Sean Orr has been shut down

A later addition to this piece is a statement by Aaron Gunn telling the First Nations they shouldn't be joking around 😐

While @TheTyee is a B.C.-based publication, this is a Montréal story (and Rachel is a fluent French speaker). We'd welcome other media picking up this story.

Holy shit!!! This entire thing is scary as hell.

Let's talk about how sexual shaming has been used in other countries to punish female journalists. This is the case of Khadija Ismayilova, a journalist in Azerbaijan who was secretly recorded in her own home. www.amnesty.org.uk/knowledge-hu...

Conservative MP for Powell River–North Island, Aaron Gunn, is, uh, well he’s being trolled a bit for his condemnation of land acknowledgements yesterday. Message from K’omoks, Klahoose, Homalco & Tla’amin Nations: “Chillax, bud.” #bcpoli

“I said, ‘Man to man, politics aside, why would you do this, other than to hurt me?’ And he just kind of repeated, ‘I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry. Look, Sean, I’m sorry.’” #vanpoli thetyee.ca/News/2026/03...

Lori Idlout is crossing the floor from the NDP to the Liberals, Interim NDP Leader Don Davies announced tonight. So I guess I’m superstitious now. But is she on the PM’s upcoming trip?! Liberal seat count: 170, 2 away from a majority.

What books did Alberta schools *actually* pull off the shelves in response to a provincial order? It took a lot of work to find out. We still don't have a complete picture. And some schools are still pulling material. Free speech advocates say it's ban unmatched in Canadian history. #AbLeg By me.

Thinking about how this upcoming election will truly be a battle of “who has the cutest Instagram reels” at least on the progressive side of the spectrum #vanpoli

I must admit I drafted and deleted a few posts about this when I saw this press release. Very cool to see my journalism mentor try a new thing. Whatever that might be lol (attempting to maintain the mystery here for just a few hours longer)

Exactly. We need stronger enforcement / laws to stop the intimidation of journalists.

Rachel, you're not alone. No journalist should ever be intimidated like this for doing their work in service of the public's right to know. EVER. A couple of resources you may find helpful: Our peer support program: caj.ca/peersupport/ Our emergency fund: caj.ca/advocacy/eme... Thinking of you ❤️
