Trump’s tariffs forge ‘feeling of big betrayal’ in Canada’s manufacturing
The White House’s August 1 deadline has ‘set off some panic’ among both workers and employers, experts say.
My first byline in @aljazeera.com
As Trump raises tariffs on Canada to 35% ahead of tomorrow’s deadline, I asked auto workers, economists and manufacturing unions about the human impacts

Why co-op?
Because people who do the labour should take the lead in how they’re managed.
Because open collaboration leads to better ideas.
Because we value equity enough to bake it into our business model.
And because we want to help build a stronger, more resilient and democratic economy.

How do you tell important stories without exploiting the people at the centre of them?
A lot of journalists are asking themselves this question. But it applies equally to organizations looking to get their stories into the media (1/x)

Trump’s Pardons and Purges Revive Old Question: Who Counts as a Terrorist?
The president’s sweeping clemency for Capitol rioters and his administration’s ongoing removal of career national security specialists foretell a permissive new climate for extremist movements, say…
In the past weeks, the Trump administration has purged federal law enforcement agencies of prosecutors and investigators who’d been pursuing white supremacist groups that had been listed among the most dangerous threats to national security.

After 24 years, an immigrant father’s fate hinges on Trump’s first week
He came to the U.S. as a teenager. Now he’s a target of the Trump administration’s deportation push.
Eulogio arrived as a teenager in 2001, leaving behind his village in Guatemala. After 24 years … he went to hug his sleeping children. “See you in the afternoon,” he whispered to each of them.
The truth was he might not be coming back.

What happens after you ask Trump to ‘have mercy’? Threats, praise and hope.
It had been 12 days since the Episcopal bishop of Washington pleaded with President Donald Trump to “have mercy” on immigrants, LGBTQ children and others.
“It was rooted in Jesus not a partisan agenda”—Bishop Budde
“In God’s kingdom, immigrants and refugees, transgender people, the poor & the marginalized are not at the edges, fearful & alone. They are at the center of the gospel story”—Episcopal primate Rowe
