Hurricane Melissa's destruction has the Jamaican diaspora mobilizing to send money and aid. The effects of climate change are hitting developing countries hardest, putting pressure on immigrants in Canada to increase the billions they already send home every year. thenarwhal.ca/hurricane-me...

Omg I’m dying 😂😂😂…so…So Emily Austin, a right wing 'influencer' who works for Bibi and the GOP, launched 'Hot Girls for Cuomo'. Guess who didn't bother to register the URL when she did that? What do you think Hot Girls for Cuomo dot com leads to now?... 😄 Enjoy. [ HotGirlsforCuomo.com ]

We strongly condemn @CondéNast’s consolidation plans for Teen Vogue, a move that is clearly designed to blunt the award-winning magazine’s insightful journalism at a time when it is needed the most. More from our statement:

Ontario is using misleading imagery in the Ring of Fire ads running during the World Series. Kinda like @elaineanselmi.bsky.social using a pic of the Jays in this column about why the govt might want people to think mining in Treaty 9 is farther along than it really is. thenarwhal.ca/opinion-blue...

Those Ring of Fire ads during World Series broadcasts might have you thinking mines are up and running in the remote region in northern Ontario, but that's not the case and the Ford government should be upfront about it, writes @elaineanselmi.bsky.social thenarwhal.ca/opinion-blue...

The Ontario government plans to change the Clean Water Act, put in place after contaminated water in Walkerton killed seven people in 2000. It says the goal is to support “housing and infrastructure development” while keeping “strong protections" for drinking water. thenarwhal.ca/ontario-bill...

Accessible and actually quite engaging given the subject matter. Ignore goofy cover and focus on the specific anxiety of being a parent in the year 2025!

Summer used to be the season we waited all year for, but this year Canada has faced drought, extreme heat and wildfire from coast to coast. Sadness at what's lost is understandable, @balkissoon.bsky.social writes. But what if we tapped into our rage — or love — instead? thenarwhal.ca/seasonal-dep...

Wrote a column thenarwhal.ca/seasonal-dep... and talked to CBC's Allie Jaynes www.cbc.ca/radio/frontb... about how wildfires, smoke, extreme heat and other effects of climate change are making summer a bummer, and why I'm trying to push past my sadness about it to tap into my anger, and love.

🧵 The signature legislation of Prime Minister Mark Carney’s first months in office, Bill C-5, passed riding a wave of patriotism.

God, the number of people who were willing to believe that the South Yorkshire police were too woke to prosecute sexual abuse cases, when in fact the police force was itself an instrument of patriarchal sexual violence. It’s like a case study in the worst excesses of the British press.

I ♥️ to give @drewanderson.bsky.social a headache, so I said "Hey! Can you explain what oil and gas subsidies in Canada, like, are?"

In 2023 I reported on the impacts of wildfires in northern Saskatchewan, which not only endanger human life and communities but also cultural and ecological resources. It's heartbreaking to be covering it again, as Canada experiences another brutal year for wildfires.
