In a recent @policyalternatives.ca article, @gavinfridell.bsky.social, a @smuhalifax.bsky.social research professor and member of the GRC’s supply chains hub, argues that Canada needs to invest in green steel and iron if it wants to be a clean energy superpower. bit.ly/3WsUecY

Thank you to everyone who came out on Saturday for an artist-led walking tour of 'Ripples,' a series of billboards that show supply chain data represented as public art.

My take on why Canada needs to ramp up green steel and iron, if it wants to truly be a clean energy "superpower." Reflecting on an impressive report by @jonasalgers.bsky.social and @chrisbataille.bsky.social on "Strategic decarbonisation of the Canadian iron and steel industry."

Been learning so much from the panels at #ptg2025. First one today on how sports are used as leverage for geopolitical influence has been fascinating. Steff Ndei, a current PhD candidate at @heriotwattuni.bsky.social, dove into Chinese investment in sports infrastructure in African states.

The GRC's @andreacrossan.bsky.social and @sharonnadeem.bsky.social are currently in Finland for the @playthegame-org.bsky.social conference, an initiative by the Danish Institute for Sports Studies that promotes democratic values in world sports. www.playthegame.org

Really excited to see Sydney's provocative work out!

Sorry I missed this! Thank you for the fellowship and for your kindness & support. There is a persistent habit by mainstream media to dominate space/stories, even to obliterate or write over Indigenous ppls existence. These stories are important.

NEW! In the latest State of Play episode, hear from El Jones, @nkalamb.bsky.social, and Charlotte Phillips as they discuss the events leading to Tennis Canada’s decision to close the Davis Cup matches to fans. Hosted by @sharonnadeem.bsky.social. 🎧 bit.ly/4pAxaX1

From cycling to soccer to tennis, fans, athletes and scholars have been pushing to suspend Israel from global sporting events. Listen to the latest episode from me for the @globalreportingcentre.org on this growing movement in sports and why it's become an arena for resistance against genocide 👇

Today is #PeaceDay. It's paramount to protect journalists reporting from conflict zones, particularly in Gaza. We echo the calls of @pressfreedom.bsky.social, @rsf.org, & @cjjpmedia.bsky.social to demand their safety and condemn Israel's blatant killing of journalists. bit.ly/47BA6Mt

After nearly two years of the Israel-Gaza war, a myriad of global grassroots movements are springing up to call for an end to Israel's attempts to sportswash its genocide in Gaza.

A global movement is growing to ban Israel from sports – from cycling to soccer to tennis. In my first episode as host, I explore how sports have become a flashpoint for protest, looking at past sporting boycotts — and if they can be effective today.

🎾 NEW: In Halifax, the Canada vs Israel Davis Cup matches were played in total silence — no fans, no media. In a special episode of State of Play, hear how protests, boycott calls & sportswashing collided at this match. 🎧: globalreportingcentre.org/state-of-pla... #DavisCup #StateOfPlay

NEW: Canada won’t respond to the UN finding of genocide in Gaza — only to the ICJ. @globalaffairs.canada.ca: The question of genocide is before the International Court of Justice. We are following developments closely

More crucial reporting on #LA28 from journalist, urbanist, and former guest of the State of Play podcast, @awalkerinla.bsky.social.

Coming this week! A new State of Play episode will examine why the Canada vs. Israel Davis Cup match in Halifax was played behind closed doors. Tennis Canada says the decision was based on “intelligence,” but it remains unclear what type of intelligence was used. bit.ly/4mgDTlV

Our State of Play podcast was a finalist for @inn.org's Insight Award for Explanatory Journalism – Small division at this year's INNY awards. Congrats to the winners, @mindsitenews.bsky.social and @morelatinosinnews.bsky.social's Palabra, and the other finalists! bit.ly/46uMD2b

Yesterday was #LiteracyDay. 📚 According to @unesco.org, 4 out of 10 children are not reaching a minimum proficiency in reading. Experts argue that the widening achievement gap is due to the stagnation of education and teaching methods over the past century.

In December 2024, fellows from the Global Reporting Program – based at @ubcjournalism.bsky.social – travelled to Eastern Europe to investigate how Baltic nations are fortifying their borders with Russia. Below is a series of photographs taken during their reporting. 📷 Photos: Bismah Mughal
