RE: @r.gilmore@www.threads.com
The Tyee is proud to have published this important investigation by
@r.gilmore@threads.net. We condemn this egregious harassment of a journalist for doing her job, and have offered support as she deals with this disturbing situation.

Come the budget speech, other than leading with that whopping $9.4-billion deficit, Alberta Finance Minister Nate Horner had literally no bad news at all, writes David Climenhaga. #abpoli

Out of the gate, the Conservative Party of BC’s leadership race feels less like a search for the next premier and more like a purity test to identify the party’s most uncompromising conservative. Mo Amir writes. #bcpoli

Almost immediately, the tragedy was pulled into the public domain and repackaged, writes municipal councillor Ken Matheson.
Not to support the grieving or help a traumatized community heal, but to advance ideological positions and turn suffering into rage farming. #TumblerRidgeShooting #bcpoli

The response to the #TumblerRidgeShooting from far-right media, online commentators and even an elected official in Canada is another dark example of how pervasive anti-trans misinformation has become, even in Canada.

Is AI truly useful in newsrooms? Should you be worried? Or is everyone blowing this out of proportion?
In short: yes. Sarah Krichel explains. #CdnMedia #canlab #GenAI

If an election were held in the U.K. tomorrow, hard-core climate denier Nigel Farage’s Reform UK would likely win.
This outcome — almost unimaginable a few years ago — can trace its roots back to another once-fringe movement based in Alberta. Mitchell Anderson writes. #abpoli

“There is this incredible revisionist history,” said Amy Janzwood, an assistant professor in political science at McGill University.
“It’s like, ’We bought #TMX, look how profitable it can be.’ Profitable is not the word we should be using at all.” #canpoli
