Happy Lunar New Year. 🧧
新年快乐。❀️

On this Lunar New Year eve, I am reflecting on spending time with my family in China last year at this time, and the year before that being in Gaza with the beautiful people of Palestine.

Our reporting has found that ICE sent 600 immigrant kids to detention in federal shelters in 2025.

A 17-year-old was detained at a traffic stop because officers couldn’t make contact with his dad, who is deaf.

Another kid ended up in a shelter after making a wrong turn:

Edward Keenan: Some scoffed when the CN Tower was built. Today, it’s a reminder of something Toronto badly needs From tacky embarrassment to an indispensable part of the Toronto’s skyline, the CN Tower says a lot about the city we used to be β€” and the about the city we are now.

The CN Tower represents β€œ a time when we felt like our city deserved those kind of statement buildings, and could afford them, and needed them. Or at least wanted them, for the kind of city we aim to become.”

The Trump administration on Friday forced out a handful of senior Justice Department officials, further thinning the ranks of career officials who help guide the agency, according to several people familiar with the actions.

Parents are in control of which books their own children read - if you don't like one of the thousands they have that are on the shelves of our public libraries, put it back and choose another! Pretty simple concept. #FreedomtoRead #RighttoRead

I worked with many talented, dedicated, good people at TVO. It sucks that so many won't be able to do the work they loved. We're all poorer for it.

Just got laid off as editor-in-chief of TVO Today after eight years. Some of my very talented colleagues were also let go. Hire them for all your writing and editing needs. Hire me if they’re unavailable.

More later.

Sounds like a horrendous day at TVO. My real sympathies to all involved, in this stupid business, and my disapproval to those who made the decision.
