I now realise this is my evergreen mood.

After lengthy negotiations, Loblaw has agreed to sign the grocery code of conduct. In 2022, writer @EmilyBat explored how the code could radically transform the future of the grocery market. thewalrus.ca/grocer-code-of…

I’m excited to share more about a project I’ve been working on for the last 2+ years — a book that explains how we got to this point in women’s hockey, and takes people inside the first PWHL season. It’s close to my heart. I can’t wait to share it with you in Fall 2025! 🏒📖

Researchers have found an increase in stress, anxiety, and depression among farmers, with one in four having experienced suicidal ideation. Writer @EmilyBat investigates whether automation might be one way for the industry to avoid burnout. thewalrus.ca/inside-farming…

PIECE OF THE WEEK: Farmers are struggling to compete against larger operations. Is automation the answer? buff.ly/3UiqUV9 (@thewalrus @EmilyBat)

When we think of farmers, we often think of Mom and Pop types, smiling in well-worn overalls and plaid shirts as they tend to their animals and crops by hand. It’s a romantic, unsophisticated image. It’s also completely false. thewalrus.ca/inside-farming…

So thrilled to have our look at organic labelling nominated by the @DPAwards! You can read the piece by senior editor @EmilyBat, and the rest of our Food Fraud series, right here: modernfarmer.com/2023/10/phonie… twitter.com/DPAwards/statu…

Every ~3 months, an @AmbrookResearch contributing writer gets a full-time job and says goodbye, but I think they would all have good things to say about the experience. Briefly: One story every 1-2 weeks, 1k-1,200 words, combination of assignments and pitches. Pay is $0.60/word.

Maybe another merger will fix the problem.

Have been working in media for 16 years and never seen the entire enterprise this precarious. The ground is giving way. Luckily MrBeast and the Paul brothers are seasoned, trustworthy journalists and your young aunt’s TikTok assessments of global health are sound

Canadian folk song: Northwest Passage by Stan Rogers. Looking west accross the Atlantic ocean today to Canada. I can't belive the destruction that these wildfires can cause. Thoughts and prayers with all those effected 🇨🇦 💚

FROM THE GCL ARCHIVES: You can have a great credit history and still see your score plummet. How did the rating system become so powerful? buff.ly/3wJxCJ5 (@thewalrus @EmilyBat)

This is, and I cannot stress this enough, the absolute biggest pile of bullshit. A nothing problem trumped up in an effort to make it harder for trans and non-binary youth in Canada. Infuriating and nonsensical. Also, just change your pronouns, you never have to ask. Just tell.

Temporary employees have made up a large part of @CBCRadioCanada's workforce for decades. They're compensated the same as any other employee—with one notable exception. Most are always looking over the edge into unemployment, with no guarantee of ever securing a permanent job.
