An overview of the fight for access to reproductive rights…
Ninety-eight per cent of Nunavik Inuit speak Inuktitut as their first language. This should be celebrated, not hindered. […] Bill 96 will create greater impediments to accessible health care for Inuit and First Nations people. The bill will worsen health and health care, instead of improving it…
Has been for years, but there’s a critical opportunity now that the CRTC is looking at News Media more seriously…
Russian boogeyman to justify further militarization?..
Short doc on the Patty beef between the federal and Jamaican bakers…
it’s no surprise Kenney and the province’s oil and gas boosters wasted no time in using the invasion of Ukraine as an opportunity to call for more Canadian oil and gas production to replace Russian supply — a move proponents claim would starve Vladimir Putin’s war machine…
Last week, Trans Mountain announced the project will be an eye-watering $8.8 billion over its initial budget…
As the sun was going down and the temperatures dipped, the truck drivers in the convoy were permitted a “negotiated retreat” — they were allowed to leave one at a time, but only after their trucks had been stripped of flags, and “Freedom Convoy” stickers, and surrendered any jerry cans…
COUTTS, AB – Sources report that the RCMP have arrested 11 people at the Coutts border blockade who planned to peacefully participate in the democratic process with firearms, body armour and voluminous ammunition caches…
The organizers are usual far right fash, but they’ve capitalized on the COVID fatigue sentiment that has grown a bit beyond the outright deniers. Provincial governments are already loosening the rules.

Media Bias is a given, pure objectivity has always been a PR exercise for major Newspapers.
The Breach’s about page addresses this head on
The billionaire-owned media and our public broadcaster have long peddled the claim that they’re objective, but most people have stopped buying it. In a world of injustice, no one — and especially not journalists — can be truly neutral or impartial. “Objectivity” becomes merely a cover for uncritical reporting or a muzzle on those speaking simple truths about power and privilege.
The question of trustworthiness is important, but to answer the question we have to think about what kinds of voices do we find credible in the first place. Some people ascribe authority & credibility to Corporate Boardroom and Chamber of Commerce types. Others will have more trust and respect for scrappy journalists who are on the ground with social movements and when the heat is on.
We believe journalism can be credible while still open about its commitments: to inspire action, tell stories about people remaking society, and amplify visions of a new world to win together.
