My latest for @TheAgenda: Uber is facing a massive class action lawsuit in Ontario as drivers push to be recognized as employees of the tech giant. I break down the case and why it matters for gig workers everywhere. tvo.org/article/what-t…
A necessary corrective. How right wing influencers, online disinformation, and plain old Canadian racism fuelled a moral panic about international students using food banks. 👇

I asked the provinces if they think housing is a human right, and plan to make rules protecting that right. Quebec sent this: "Do I ghost her again? Otherwise, a general response that doesn't answer, to say housing is a priority for our government?" thestar.com/news/canada/ca…

It is worth watching this CNN video from the moment Emory Econ Professor @CarolineFohlin came across the violent arrest of a protester on campus and asked the police, with shock, "What are you doing?" That's all that prompted an officer to hurl her to the ground and handcuff her.

"It’s so very Canadian to be suddenly interested in covering the arts now that it is in crisis—a crisis that stems, in part, from the media’s historic unwillingness to take it seriously."

It is worth watching this CNN video from the moment Emory Econ Professor @CarolineFohlin came across the violent arrest of a protester on campus and asked the police, with shock, "What are you doing?" That's all that prompted an officer to hurl her to the ground and handcuff her.
A CNN crew witnessed at least two professors detained by Atlanta police, including @EmoryUniversity economics professor Caroline Fohlin and Noëlle McAfee, chair of the philosophy department. #FreePalestine cnn.com/business/live-…
So pleased with this: it's the second time our election coverage has been recognized, and it's a privilege (and so rewarding) to get to put together an ambitious, critical package on the election with such a sharp team of freelance researchers, fact-checkers and writers.
Our coverage of the 2023 mayoral election—with research on all 102 candidates & deep-dives on frontrunners—is named under Best News Coverage (Community Publication). Thanks to the massive team of contributors that made this possible!thelocal.to/issue-19/ x.com/dpawards/statu…

"It’s so very Canadian to be suddenly interested in covering the arts now that it is in crisis—a crisis that stems, in part, from the media’s historic unwillingness to take it seriously."
i wrote about how rich executives have fucked the arts in toronto and how the media has just kind of watched. thanks @TheLocal_TO and amazing editor @nickhunebrown for asking ❤️ thelocal.to/hot-docs-canad…
Hindu nationalist-linked candidate Bhavini Patel loses. This was another chance to see how #Hindutva plays with American voters. It went poorly for the Hindu far-right.

"More than unacceptable, it’s racist and wrong. Until the ban is lifted, opposition MPPs — and, hell, PC MPPs, if they’ve got the guts — ought to show up wearing a keffiyeh in solidarity with those who’ve been banned from doing so." @David_Moscrop tvo.org/article/the-ke…
