Globe and Mail reporter targeted by online campaign, photographed surreptitiously in public settings An anonymous X account posted photos of Alberta reporter Carrie Tait and described her movements as she reported on a health authority controversy

Yes, I do! I'll send it to you directly.

Totally! And then you get complacent…

The solitary time I line up two peer reviewers, as opposed to three, because "yah, we're good", my second reader goes AWOL. Scholars out there: we know life happens but for the love of all that's decent, do not ghost us (long-suffering) editors! 🤯 Rant concluded.

Canadian publishers condemn Alberta Government’s school library book bans - Association of Canadian Publishers

ACP condemns Alberta’s recent banning of "sexually explicit" books in school libraries, which disproportionately targets 2SLGBTQIA+ titles under the pretense of age-appropriateness. All students deserve to see themselves reflected in the stories they read. publishers.ca/alberta-scho...

Excellent! Now on hold at the public library.

The scene: it was 1990 and a pal and I found ourselves in the office of the Ontario Premier, soliciting tips on how to excel in the University of Toronto's model parliament. Flash forward 3.5 decades: this political science editor shakes her head at the chutzpah!
