JB Pritzker and Gavin Newsom are doing something new and important: They understand Stephen Miller's theory of fascist power politics, and they've developed a theory on how to combat it.

Ultra-processed foods are often painted as the “bogeyman” of public health. But as University of Alberta professor @caulfieldtim.bsky.social writes, villainizing them “flattens a debate shaped by messy science and tangled policy.” thewalrus.ca/sure-ultra-proce...

Parents and the public are finally getting a glimpse into how Manitoba’s teacher misconduct commissioner is handling allegations that land on her desk.

Eh — I sometimes do double entendres _fully intending_ them not to land with whoever I'm addressing, and I take "transformative president" as the same sort of subtextual insult. A car getting stolen and stripped for parts: that's a transformation! One uncomfortably close to our reality, alas.

Beeber's ad at the bottom of the page says he is a voice that can be trusted - did he pay for the ad or did his employer give him the space for free or at a cut rate? This is the obvious sort of conflict of interest questions that arise.

@charlesrusnell.bsky.social spoke to my class yesterday—great session! I asked him @ Al Beeber running campaign ads while still writing for the #Lethbridge Herald.👇 “You can’t be a politician AND a journalist,” and he said a leave of absence should have been mandatory.

Also, big publishers want you to be famous before they sign you. It's almost impossible for a non-fiction writer to become household names in Canada the way Berton and Newman were. So we see a lot of ghost-written pap with the names of politicians and hockey players. thewalrus.ca/the-publishi...
