CBC’s ombudsman reminds us of the essential value of precision because it's rooted in accuracy. I like this.. "trust, but verify." And as Sherlock Holmes frames it.. "It is not what we know, but what we can prove".

One of the themes I have emphasized again and again during my time as CBC’s Ombudsman is the need for precision. It’s not enough to get the gist of a story right. Journalists need to get each of the

The Hells Angels and their associates have been linked to dozens of serious crimes here in BC in recent years including murder. The police/government have called them a criminal organization. That’s why we’re covering this.

This is the movie they should have made. Could also still make. Now that is a protagonist with a mission.

there are currently 44 properties available along this strip of vancouver just seven of them are under a million dollars the cheapest place with two bedrooms is $1.2 million good job everyone
It is astounding that in Vancouver's new "corridor of urbanism," with thousands of condos, there is just ONE storefront business. How many residents at 33rd and Cambie actually walk to shopping or services? This lack of complexity leads to car dependency.

A busy, engaged, responsive newsroom is one of the best places for journalists and journalism. WFH can be good for people’s lives (and this matters) but it’s not always best for the work we do together.
Okay. That’s a wrap. Just cycled out to pick up a few belongings at the Vancouver Sun newsroom at Broadway and Renfrew. It’s shutting down. We will all work remotely, as we have been for 3 years. Most prefer it this way. End of an era for the newspaper, which is 113 years old.

Devoured this. Wardrobe has so much to communicate, and this thread explains what subversive darkness we might be getting from the Barbie movie 🍿
Okay who wants a little thread on why Ryan Gosling, a certified smokeshow, looks so bad in the Barbie movie, and how you can apply it to your own wardrobe?

Incredible journalism. It could have been published any day in the US and still resonate because that’s how common mass shooting are.
