Spent several months reporting this story for @macleans about @DULFBC, Vancouver activists who sourced drugs from the dark web, tested and distributed them to high-risk users with broad political support—until their arrest. Are they martyrs or agitators?

The inimitable @jana_pruden is bringing back her super popular narrative nonfiction course to @PandemicSchool. Now writers can take her lectures asynchronously or upgrade to develop an article with Jana and fellow classmates in subsequent workshops.

Hey Edmonton! Hoping you can help by being extras in my movie Nader’s Girl, an adaptation of @saeedteebi’s story “Cynthia.” Or, if you're not in Edmonton/unavailable, please share the link! We need about 5 more people, preferably college aged. Thanks! #yeg

@carillonjane Hmmm, that’s 5 years away. Both so near that I might want to keep it, and so far that my 2019 MacBook Air might be too obsolete.

Truly one of the most thoughtful takes on travel writing. I would recommend this class for any journalist.

@ShawnAlain It's not the editor's fault at all, nor our sound designer's. Unfortunately this is a problem with the subs themselves. We published a statement about it here.
