Some news: It’s my last day at The Canadian Press. I’ve covered so many memorable stories in nearly five years at the wire and I feel very privileged to have worked with wonderful and talented colleagues in Ontario, the Atlantic bureau and across the country.

Ontario Health Minister Sylvia Jones just took questions at a news conference for the first time since being sworn in and the press gallery was not given notice. Toronto news advisory from yesterday refers to her as a “govt of Ontario representative”

commissioner of the muskrat falls inquiry: i need three more months to finish writing this document because the material is so complicated.
journalists: may we please have one hour to review this 1,000-page document before we have to file on it
gov nl: no
Premier Dwight Ball and Natural Resources Min. Siobhan Coady will release the Muskrat Falls Report at 1:00 p.m.
There is no technical briefing planned for media in advance of the news conference, so there will be no chance to review the document before asking questions.

I'll be reporting for CP's Ontario bureau for the next year starting in September. Tough to leave, it's been a great two years covering this place and Atlantic Canada.
I’m figuring out my next move and I’m very eager for new work opportunities. I have years of experience as a business and politics reporter, and as a newsroom leader and editor. Very open to chatting with anyone who has job leads or advice ✍️
Awful, sad day for CP’s Atlantic bureau.

Personal support workers in Ontario hospitals have been waiting more than six months for a promised permanent $2/hour wage increase. Hospitals and unions blame delayed government instructions

My job 👇DM me if you have questions about the Newfoundland and Labrador reporter position with CP! Never a dull moment and you'll work with a stellar team.
I would have loved to keep leading the digital team in our coverage of Canadian business, economics and markets and I really value the time I had in the BNN newsroom, even if it was shorter than I expected
Turkey currently hosts almost four million migrants. Many coming from countries other than Syria have had their resettlement cases frozen to a halt. My colleagues and I met some of the refugees who have fallen through the cracks:

honestly, school is weird. the fact that it's somehow groundbreaking research that it's healthy to let kids play is actually kind of freakishly dystopian and this article made me feel sad.
um, excuse me. i expect all of my friends to leave me alone while i'm doing work but i ALSO expect all of my friends to be constantly online for me to complain to whenever i want while i'm doing work. thanks.
