Truly stop with the paywall complaints. There are fewer and fewer and fewer places out there doing original journalism. Subscribe and support your favs or they'll be gone.

We are absolutely dejected to witness the steady stream of excellent journalists losing their jobs today @Bell. We want to acknowledge the incredible, vital work our colleagues perform every day to keep Canadians informed. When journalism jobs are lost, it affects us all.

The CBC has lots of problems (read: LOTS) but... It's a thread that runs coast to coast to coast. It's a radio and tv service that exists in markets that no private venture would dare. Without it in Canadian media we would be drowned out by American voices.

It's the feast of St Catherine of Alexandria, once known as 'Catterns Day'. Catherine was a very popular saint, an emblem of female learning and patron of young women, librarians, students, and wheelwrights. Here she is with her wheel in medieval glass from Christ Church, Oxford.

"History’s headlines make no space for the details wherein lie the humanity of the events being reported. But our lives are only specifics and details." Opinion: Finding the names of the men who saved my father’s life in the war /via @globeandmail theglobeandmail.com/opinion/…

Opinion: Finding the names of the men who saved my father’s life in the war

My father tried unsuccessfully to find the names of the aircrews who helped rescue the convoy his corvette was escorting across the Atlantic. A number of years ago I decided to take up his search

Thinking of lots of former students and current students wondering what the future holds. Brutal for journos and the communities they serve.

This news, delivered on International Democracy Day, is a total gut punch to Canadian journalism & the public’s right to know. We know how this story goes: Less local journalism = less accountability = weaker democracy We will share more as we learn more theglobeandmail.com/business…

One of my late dad's favourite actors, and like Caine, when he took me to Hackney in the 90s, almost every place Dad had lived and where he and Caine (and Pinter) had gone to high school were demolished. How it must feel to live to 90!
