For @Chatelaine, a story about the ‘workforce behind the workforce’: child care workers, the vast majority of them women, struggling with low wages, few benefits and overwhelming workloads while providing care their communities sorely need.
Erica Lenti@ericalenti

This year, we're publishing *a lot* more digital-exclusive longform @Chatelaine. Kicking things off is @EmmaArkell7's interrogation into Canada's child-care staffing shortage, and what it means for promises of $10-a-day daycare: chatelaine.com/longforms/chil…

This is embarrassing coverage. If you want to understand the drug war in Canada, go to @crackdownpod. We are never sensationalistic, always evidence-based, always rooted in the community, never punching down.

This piece has been a long time coming – it was a privilege to spend four days reporting with @SimonTownsley. Meet Hailey, Larry, and Tiffany – three of approximately 5,000 drug users who live in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, a 10-block corridor being ravaged by the fentanyl crisis. In this part of the city, opioid overdose deaths are 30 times higher than Canada's national average. We investigate why: telegraph.co.uk/global-health/…

Last month, @hellosarahgreen and I visited Vancouver to cover the city’s drug crisis. What we saw was even worse than I ever could have imagined. Click the link below to discover how decriminalisation has fundamentally failed the vulnerable people of Vancouver - no paywall.

One thing I'm left with at the end of @occupyuoft: the failure of media to engage with what actually happened there, and the likely inability now to accurately summarize or thoughtfully reflect on what happened, because there was so little curiosity to begin with

I'm looking to speak to people who have dealt with mask bans (legal or related to work, retail, transit, etc.) for a story. Or if you've been confronted by police about a mask without a legal ban in place. Please reach out - DM or just3003@gmail.com. Please share!

When I first wrote about the surge in worker organizing on campuses, I was struck by the tenacity of an independent, non-hierarchical union that was fighting a years-long battle to unionize research assistants without the support of a big union like CUPE. briarpatchmagazine.com/articles/view/…
