There are particular ways the toxicity of politics these days is the worst on the local level, but also the least examined. Here are a couple observations, as someone who reports on both local and provincial politics, and has some expertise on the swamp waters of social media.
A theme all week at the UBCM convention was toxic social media, threats and harassment, and the interplay between politicians and the media in how all that *happens*. It's very top of mind for many politicians, in ways frankly I haven't seen before. https://t.co/3RccUVVvSZ

This took bravery, and I wish it didn't. I hope it gives others the courage to live their own truths, and inspires people of all non-Indo backgrounds to stretch their linguistic muscles and get on board. Proud of you Neetu!
What's in a name? Global BC reporter @NeetuGarcha explores that question as she describes how she’s been saying her own name wrong most of her life, why she’s decided to stop and how to say it correctly. https://t.co/jkT0etzN8n
