Sounds like responsible journalism to me.
The Atlantic suggesting, without evidence, that Canada's Global TV broadcasting the '60 Minutes' segment on CECOT that CBS distributed to it may have been an act of "treachery."

Trans Mountain is making big profits now, right?

Actually, no.

Thanks to accounting wizardry and a shell company, the pipeline has transformed Canadians' losses into gains on its balance sheets.

My deep dive on this for @thetyee.ca:

It still amazes me that you can be arrested for holding a small paper sign that says you are against the wholesale murder of an entire ethnic group, but seemingly not for actually doing the murdering.

Oh my god…

CEO sent out a Christmas video with a bunch of people reading a very very long “night before christmas” using AI generated photos of people doing things.. in the office, using genetic AI peeler in the background.

Such fucking disconnect. So cringe the whole thing.

It’s beautiful out. Going for a quick ski around the coq. Before that, just taking a moment to appreciate what is around me, and that I earned this for myself.

Wow. Local news site:

“North Shore mountains finally open as climate change shortens ski seasons”

Right in the headline.

Liberal MP Steven Guilbeault resigned from cabinet on Nov. 27 after PM Mark Carney signed a pipeline-affirming MOU with Alberta Premier Danielle Smith.

His act of conviction is one that more Liberals need to emulate, for the good of the country, and their party, writes Christopher Holcroft.
