A note for municipal election candidates:
* It's not my fault if emails go into your spam.
* You missing a deadline does not mean I will work on my time off to add you to a story.
* Don't tell me "you should be at the office." I'm off now because I'm working tonight.

The reaction to this tweet is very unexpected and a friend said I should plug something but I don’t really have anything to plug, so instead:
- support your local media
- be kind to each other (no matter what coffee people choose to drink)
Enjoy your weekend, everyone! ☕️🫶

This is so fucking unfair. I am so, so sorry. Local journalism matters so much and your work has been so incredibly important to this city.

This is 100% the kind of St P Day I would have skipped afternoon classes for to go to The Bomber at UW to be on the (very crammed) patio and drink green beer with my Imprint friends.

Small vent: Someone didn't take five minutes on the weekend to clear this sidewalk (or even just a path) and now, it's a slippery mess even before the freezing rain gets underway. Not cool. Someone in a wheelchair or using a walker wouldn't be able to get over this.

Quick note about work (that I'm making given the news last week and for people who notice these things): I'm taking on a more behind-the-scenes role at CBC K-W for the next few weeks, which means fewer bylines and less reporting from me. So I'm not gone & you can still msg me!
