Hey @SpaceX, want to answer some questions about Starlink? People in northern Canada are curious, and you don't have readily available contact info. HMU pls. This is for a CBC North story. thx
FROM THE GCL ARCHIVES: It’s the deepest lake in North America and the second-largest (after Great Bear Lake) within Canada’s borders. For the people living here these waters are indescribable. buff.ly/3keZWdg (@upheremag @SidHCohen)
Today I shall find money for more journalism. If you have money for more journalism, please tell me so I can spend it.
"While isolation once you contract Covid-19 has long been the standard message, it’s hard to find specific references to isolation after a positive test in the NWT’s existing public health orders." cabinradio.ca/72758/news/yel…
In the last instalment of our Northview series, @johnwlast looks at what needs to happen to improve Yellowknife’s ailing rental market cbc.ca/news/canada/no…
To investors, Northview touts its government-backed leases in the North as a source of steady income. But others think this should change. A look at the NWT government’s relationship with Northview. cbc.ca/news/canada/no…
Reporter @SidHCohen heard from more than 15 Northerners about what it was like to live in Northview in the NWT. You can read her account for @CBCNorth here: newsinteractives.cbc.ca/longform/landl…
Today, @SidHCohen and @johnwlast on how one company, Northview, came to dominate the rental market in Canada’s north — and what it says about the challenges facing renters across the country: cbc.ca/1.6149692
This almost didn't happen and then it did! Listen to @SidHCohen and I chat about our series on Northview on @FrontBurnerCBC #podcast cbc.ca/listen/cbc-pod…
Yellowknife tenants shared a list of concerns: broken windows, water damage, fears for their safety. They put up with all this because they have little choice - affordable rentals are so scarce. Part II of our dive into Northview newsinteractives.cbc.ca/longform/landl…
Since April, @johnwlast and I have been looking into how one real estate company came to prominence in the North, and what it's meant for renters and the territorial government. Here's John's epic report on the rise of Northview. newsinteractives.cbc.ca/longform/the-l…
The Journalist and the Murderer altered my thinking and made me want to study journalism. I mean, this opener. RIP Janet Malcolm
Hearing the legendary Janet Malcolm has died. Among the words she left is one of the most provocative first paragraphs in journalism, and an assessment many reporters — especially crime reporters — still think about and grapple with. From The Journalist and the Murderer, 1990:
"We are representatives of a church that is complicit, is involved in those children's deaths, and so we have to own that."
N.W.T. bishops apologize after Kamloops residential school discovery. Some say it's not enough ift.tt/2TcgAC4
A good thread on why the language governments use to talk about COVID must be clear, specific and thorough, where possible. Ambiguity can lead to the spread of misinformation.
The Yukon is reporting its second COVID-19-associated death, noting that "the person had unrelated health conditions that caused their death" but "contracted COVID-19 near the time of death and is therefore considered a COVID-19 associated death."
"For God’s sake, there’s money sitting here you could have been spending last year," the federal government told the NWT's housing minister. @Sarah_Sibley_ exclusive.
Some NWT housing projects have been denied federal financial support because the GNWT still hasn't touched an existing, dedicated $60-million federal fund. cabinradio.ca/58501/news/hou…
Gender-affirming care procedures are life-saving ones. I'm grateful to the people who spoke to me and trusted me with this story.
Yukon's new gender-affirming care policy is most comprehensive in Canada, experts say ift.tt/2P9yjrC
'How the COVID-19 pandemic turned an empty motel into a hub of support' by @_kate_kyle is an incredible story of how respect & dignified care for those most vulnerable in our communities is more than "just providing housing" cbc.ca/news/canada/no…

This is a fantastic interactive piece by the New York Times featuring beautiful photos and video (as always) from the talented Pat Kane. nytimes.com/interactive/20…
I got to speak to the irreplaceable @Allakariallak as she prepared for her penultimate show. There's a lot in here about how CBC can do better. If you care about public broadcasting in the North, listen up!
