This collaboration with @ericszeto.bsky.social and the folks at CBC's Visual Investigations Unit has been in the works for a long time, and I'm so pleased it's finally out there.
We used exclusive Stat Can data and police FOIs to track a troubling trend in violence on transit.
Our visual investigations team obtained video shot from outside the event by the Canadian Anti-Hate Network, which tracks hate groups — and spent months identifying who they were.

5/ Legal experts have said the Trump administration's justification for these strikes is dubious and potentially illegal. If Canadian tech is involved, as one expert told us, Canada could be complicit in potential war crimes.

4/ We also spoke with former military and defence industry experts, who have familiarity with these devices — a majority concluded that it is likely Canadian surveillance tech involved in these operations.
3/ We built on Project Ploughshares report, doing our own visual analysis comparing the US strikes with previously released videos and going through product manuals.
2/ NGO Project Ploughshares, according to their report, says it was Canadian company L3Harris Wescam, which builds these devices out of Hamilton, Ontario involved in the first two strikes that killed at least 14 people last month.
Was Canadian surveillance tech used in US military strikes against suspected cartel members in the Caribbean sea?
