@MickeyDjuric Heading into lockup for the FES like many Ottawa reporters. Teams chats were blowing up and I didn't know whether to go in or stay out! My favourite moment from the delayed reading was finding a small nugget where they had failed to hastily scrub Freeland from the doc.

Seriously. Give me your best “where were you” moment and I’ll read it on the Playbook Canada pod I was answering questions in customs at the Ottawa airport (headed to DC) when the Freeland tweet dropped Made a U-turn back to the Hill but had to be escorted out of customs first

@tara_deschamps @CdnPressNews Thank you Tara, excited to be colleagues!

@CraigSLord @CdnPressNews Welcome! 👋🏻

Just a quick note to say: this was my last day at @globalnews after five really great years. It's been quite a run from the onset of the pandemic to taking on the finance beat at the very start of the Bank of Canada's rate-hike cycle. Thank you for following along.

@nojoudalmallees @CdnPressNews Thanks Nojoud! You leave big shoes to fill!

@CraigSLord @CdnPressNews Congrats, Craig!

@JournoSousa @CdnPressNews Thank you for the warm welcome, Aaron! Looking forward to it!

@CraigSLord @CdnPressNews welcome to the wire, Craig, from one former Global newsie to another!

@KayLaframboise @CdnPressNews Thanks so much Kalina! I hope you're enjoying the Gazette!

@CraigSLord @CdnPressNews Big win for CP! So happy for you, Craig. You’ll kill it there, too.

@Krazyfeet18 @globalnews Not a day goes by where I don't use some foundational skill honed in that drama room. Thank you Kris! Cheers!

@CraigSLord @globalnews Long gone are the days in the Forest Heights drama room, look at this guy making moves! Congrats Craig.

@RosaJSaba @CdnPressNews Live look at the CP biz desk next week.

@CraigSLord @CdnPressNews Welcome to the team!!!

Next week, I'll start a new role as the economics reporter and editor at the @CdnPressNews in Ottawa. Excited to keep breaking down the stories shaping our economy for Canadians. I'm sure there's something I can find to write about.

Thank you as well to everyone at Global News who have given me such support and helped me flourish on this beat. There are simply too many to name in a tweet. But I love the team of incredible journalists at Global who do so much with, too often, so little.
