I’ve been trying to respect strict time limits on Instagram in 2025. So far it’s paying off. What I read in January:

After a wave of officer suicides, the OPP vowed to do more for members’ mental health. Internal documents show the reforms have fallen short The OPP said police suicide 'remains a concerning and complex issue,' and the force has made 'great strides' in addressing it.

This major lender is accused of working with shady firms that prey on seniors and other vulnerable Canadians, duping them into high-interest loans Pickering-based LendCare denies the allegations, says it vets potential merchant partners and is committed to ‘responsible lending.’

5/ This is the second story w/ Ana Pereira looking into LendCare. In Nov, we found it partners with unscrupulous businesses across the country that prey on vulnerable borrowers through scams and other exploitative contracts: www.thestar.com/business/thi...

4/ LendCare also does repeat restructurings of loans to make them appear in good standing, again only temporarily. Former staff said they do this even in desperate cases where the company no longer has accurate banking information to pull payments.

3/ But this creates a temporary dip in delinquencies, before payments bounce back after a few days. Former staff told me LendCare also hits settled accounts with surprise payments. They said the company even hits dead borrowers' accounts.

2/ LendCare does so by running unexpected payments grabbing money sometimes earmarked for rent and other essential expenses. It often hits empty accounts, leading to NSF fees and further hurting vulnerable borrowers.

As Israel Kills 104 in Gaza, Canadian Media’s Vague Language Shields its Ceasefire Violations Canadian mainstream media coverage of Israel’s deadly airstrikes “an epic failure of both journalistic and moral principles,” says professor.

“The relentless framing from Canadian media outlets, which are deeply complicit in Israel’s genocide in Gaza, is near unconditional acquiescence to Israel’s fallacious narrative,” Joshua Sealy-Harrington told @thegrindto.bsky.social.

As Israel Kills 104 in Gaza, Canadian Media’s Vague Language Shields its Ceasefire Violations Canadian mainstream media coverage of Israel’s deadly airstrikes “an epic failure of both journalistic and moral principles,” says professor.

NEW: Israel killed 104 Palestinians (and 46 children) in Gaza Tuesday, in a clear violation of the ceasefire.

But mainstream media failed to accurately convey the severity of the moment, acting instead as a mouthpiece for the Israeli government.

A ‘jaw-dropper’ poll showed surging support for an Alberta separatist party. Turns out the polling firm and the party weren’t so separate The Alberta Republican Party leader previously had an ownership stake in the same polling company that reported support for his new party was surging.

A new poll last month made waves when it showed 11 per cent support for the Republican Party of Alberta and their push to separate. Turns out the pollster and the party shared some DNA. New story from @emmamci.bsky.social and me.

New from @alexboyd.bsky.social and me: A 'jaw-dropper' new survey from pollster Cardinal Research last month showed surging support for the Alberta Republican Party.

But neither the firm nor the party disclosed they have common DNA: party leader Cam Davies.
