A Lot of Influencers Talk about the News. Not All of Them Are Journalists | The Tyee
Platforms like TikTok are flooded with content creators gabbing about current events. It’s time for journalists to join the fray.
“Some of us view social media as another tool to flex the reporting muscles we’ve carefully honed with our journalism degrees and years of reporting experience, others have come armed with nothing but a surplus of confidence and a dearth of critical thinking skills.”

Are you afraid of poverty?
Why responding to middle-class fears won’t make Calgary a more equitable city
Regardless of statistics showing crime is dwindling, safety is a major concern for Calgarians—why?
In my latest essay, i explore this question, alongside the implications of letting our bourgeois fears guide our city’s policy agenda.

Rezoning reaction
Terms like R1 and R2 vanished when blanket rezoning came to Calgary, and the city says it's meant there's been rapid growth of new homes.

We like to complain that Calgary wants to pave over our past and that developers don’t care about our heritage buildings. So here’s your chance to save a bit of history.

Ooofff. I feel that. Ben stuck a mini whistle in his nose when he was three. We couldn’t figure out where the subtle sound was coming from until bed time. Really long tweezers saved the day.

🐎 CAVALRY WIN!
It’s their first dub of the season, holding off York’s late surge to take it 2-1.
Very chippy match, yellow cards everywhere. But Warschewski and Aird made the best of their moments to score.
Cavs head home happy.

"If you haven't been there, go to Calgary" - Diana Matheson
I'm obviously biased, but I think Calgary is the most underrated soccer city in Canada. What's been pulled out of thin air in the last 10 years is nothing short of remarkable. And we get very little credit for it from elsewhere.

It'll probably fly under the radar in the Canadian sports landscape (as most #CanPL news does), but last night's 2-1 win by Cavalry FC over Mexican giants Pumas is a huge moment for domestic soccer in the country

I have waited for ever for this moment. I am so proud of the @cavalryfc.
