I had a great run on this platform, but it's ultimately become a propaganda & disinformation vehicle & I don't feel good about using it anymore. Feel free to find me elsewhere (Insta, for now).

so brave of harry & meghan to move to this bleak hellscape of nothingness we call Canada, to live among us simple woodsmen & the ravenous polar bears
Many Canadians are giddy at the prospect that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle could be moving to Canada, injecting some razzle dazzle to the sprawling, bone-chillingly cold country.

last night my sister & I were at a bar in saint andrews & a guy came in & told everyone the moon was looking incredible. & it was - a cartoonish golden orb hanging over water st. & everyone left the bar & went out & looked at the moon together. which is why I love New Brunswick

before you think racism isn't a

issue, consider this photo taken in the 1920s near woodstock

racism has shaped our thinking & culture in this province. we all need to take action to make it right.

New Brunswick deserves to have its stories told locally, & on the national stage. I deeply believe in that for my home province. It's why I work for CBC. Thanks for everyone who reads, watches, and listens.

Some personal news: after 8 wonderful years, 5 of them hosting Info AMSaint John, it’s time for me to leave CBC and start something new.
I’m looking forward to more freedom to work on my own projects, including writing & teaching.
My final day will be this Friday, June 21.

Hi there! This week marks 4 years since I started hosting

Thanks for spending your morning with us. It's a privilege to be part of your day.

Most people know someone who has died by suicide.
I don't usually talk about this, but I've lost 2 people I was close to that way. I mention it this morning because I want to acknowledge it's normal to be distressed/reminded of loss by these stories.
It's a sign you're human.

don't get the complaints about hiking trails in

one: the trails are for everyone
two: if you're out there, you're PART of the crowd
there's enough woods out there for all of us i'm pretty sure. just pick up your trash.

a good thing to remember in journalism is for the average person, being interviewed is a big deal. like once or twice ever in their life for some. that’s why accuracy/treating people fairly, no matter what the story, is so important.

small-town reporting is truly the most anarchic & exhilarating of careers. you can find yourself at a criminal assault trial, some guy's strawberry farm, and on a sailboat in the middle of the ocean all in the same week. roll the dice. no two days are the same
