ICYMI this week ...

A weekly round up of all the news you may have missed this weeks.

This week, I had a very big feature published. Features are weird in that you toil away for months, they’re released and you’re like … oh yeah, that, I finished that in my mind weeks ago. Well, it’s only out yesterday and I look at the state of online harassment in Canada.

Please read and share the feature. It impores media companies to share data related to harassmen publicly. You can read it here: https://j-source.ca/journalists-across-canada-remain-unequipped-to-deal-with-online-harassment/

But that wasn’t it this week. I also broke down the Online Harms Act. Next week, I’m going to try and do a video on pharmacare. Until then, though, this is what I have.

Here are the stories that were featured on the Daily News podcast this week.
