hiii, we're shutting down this fundraiser for Trent Ernst & Tumbler Ridgelines today. If you'd like to support him, feel free to donate before 11 pm ET. After that, you can support him directly through his website Patreon! Love to see Canadian media supporting each other!
Every month I mail one of my photographs out as a postcard to people who subscribe to my mail club.

A couple of Canadian journalists (myself included) have started a fundraiser for Trenth Ernst & Tumbler Ridgelines. Since the shooting, he's stopped writing. We're hoping to get him some short-term support for these hard times.

while the BCNDP was caving to the diversion moral panic and severely limiting its safe supply program, the public safety ministry was acknowledging in budget preparation documents that hydromorphone only accounted for 0.3% of VPD drug seizures by weight
I‘ll be exhibiting my photography at the Victoria Arts Council in April along with a few others, including my friend Steph, who is creating an installation of names of people who have died from overdose. She’s looking for people to submit names.

“It definitely speaks to policy being driven by electioneering, vote-mongering, that kind of thing, as opposed to following the evidence,” he said. “It also speaks to this kind of general unwillingness to defend their own policies when they’re perhaps viewed as controversial by some people.”
Our case against the RCMP for arresting photojournalist Amber Bracken is on break, but here's more about press freedom in Canada. The Canadian Bar Association cites our case in this post about a new project offering pro-bono legal services for journalists. www.nationalmagazine.ca/en-ca/articl...

Our EIC Dave Beers - and also the founder of @thetyee.ca - is retiring (for real this time lol). We're looking for a new EIC - please share in your #journalism circles! thetyee.ca/Tyeenews/202...
My story on the BC Human Rights Commissioner report that finds press access was blocked/delayed in a way that violated human rights.
And the city's assertion that the commissioner is wrong. Despite the rigourous evidence-gathering process conducted by the inquiry. thetyee.ca/News/2026/02...

Former chief coroner Lisa Lapointe recently criticized B.C.’s drug policies, saying the province’s approach to the ongoing #ToxicDrugCrisis is not evidence-based. @michellegamage.bsky.social reports. #bcpoli
Workers at over 30 long-term care homes in Nova Scotia have voted in favour of striking.
This week, their union heads into conciliation w/ the government in a last-ditch effort to raise wages.

Canadian advertising agency Point Blank suspends business with Jim Pattison Group in response to proposed sale of Virginia warehouse property to ICE.
"We stand firmly against the targeting and terrorizing of immigrants by the Trump administration and ICE..."
“Did you do anything to refresh your memory in order to testify meaningfully today?” asked the judge.
At a hearing re DULF's constitutional challenge, a senior Health Canada official struggled to reconcile government claims with past statements on safe supply, reports @godfrey.bsky.social:
How do you create a regulatory pathway so Canada can implement a non-medical model of safer supply to save lives in the middle of a public health crisis?
Not even the guy who was No. 2 at Health Canada could think of a way. The fed gov makes drug laws, and can’t think of a way to get around them.
Amber will continue testifying at 2pm today and again tomorrow. Expert witness, photographer Nina Berman, will start the day at 9am, then Amber will follow when that is done.
