🧵1/ My kid's screen time has gone up wildly over the last 2 years, and I know I'm not the only one. I always have that question in the back of my mind -- is this messing her up? If you have that question too, this pod is for you.

When the pandemic hit in 2020, it suddenly seemed like conspiracy theories were everywhere. Did Bill Gates put a microchip in the vaccine? Is the World Economic Forum trying to take over the world?...

Check out the latest @tvo episode of NDN POV about why Indigenous peoples are over-represented in the Canadian criminal justice system. Spoiler alert, it's not because we commit more crimes.
Indigenous peoples in Canada are incarcerated at a significantly higher rate than any other population, and have worse outcomes in nearly every measure of correctional performance. @chris_beaver speaks with @Pam_Palmater, Harry LaForme, and Howard Sapers. https://t.co/9aCMLAQZwz

Losing our office is just another gut punch after the cuts/layoffs announced last week. Newsrooms are irreplaceable spaces and we do better journalism inside of them. The times that I've been able to work out of Pritchard have been amazing and I'll miss it greatly. #HamOnt
NEW: The Hamilton Spectator (@TheSpec) is losing its office space as its owner tries to save money, CBC Hamilton has learned. It means one of Ontario's longest-running newspapers will no longer have a physical newsroom. https://t.co/gLBKYVCtUO
