By the book: Alberta schools pull at least 160 titles from shelves to meet provincial order | CBC News
Alberta school divisions complying with a provincial order have removed dozens of graphic novels from their shelves, from illustrated versions of literary classics to coming-of-age memoirs and dramati...
What books did Alberta schools *actually* pull off the shelves in response to a provincial order? It took a lot of work to find out. We still don't have a complete picture. And some schools are still pulling material.
Free speech advocates say it's ban unmatched in Canadian history. #AbLeg By me.

I must admit I drafted and deleted a few posts about this when I saw this press release.
Very cool to see my journalism mentor try a new thing. Whatever that might be lol (attempting to maintain the mystery here for just a few hours longer)

Rachel, you're not alone. No journalist should ever be intimidated like this for doing their work in service of the public's right to know. EVER.

Rogan Calls Trans People βPerverts,β Spreads School Shooting Lies On Show
This week, on The Joe Rogan Experience: Steve-O and more anti-trans hate.
1. Yesterday, Joe Rogan called transgender people perverts and school shooters to his audience of tens of millions of people.
It was his most overt display of transphobia yet.
Democrats wanted to court this man and his listeners.
The latest from our journalist, S. Baum.

We're pretty skeptical too. Because there's been quite a bit of speculation about this particular image, we asked him about it, and he denied it.
But frustratingly, he's not been willing to give us more details about what the picture he saw showed, exactly... or where it came from.

Showing the sitting mayor of Canadaβs third largest city a printout of an offensive AI slop image to confirm whether thatβs the image he saw that led him to accuse a councillor of a crime, is possibly the weirdest thing Iβve ever done at work. And I once wrote about a merkin art exhibit.

COPE Councillor Considering Next Steps After Mayorβs False Drug Accusations | The Tyee
Ken Sim wrongly accused Sean Orr of dealing illegal drugs and initially let another councillor take the blame.
It's just one image from this particular X account, which often makes disturbing, grotesque images of other left-wing politicians but really has a focus on Orr.
Sim has denied this was the image he saw - but he also refused to explain how it differed. thetyee.ca/News/2026/03...

We've opted not to publish this fake AI image because it's really demeaning. But it shows Orr and former Coun. Jean Swanson surrounded by DULF boxes (compassion club that distributed heroin, meth and cocaine) with a Christmas tree in the background.

Ken Sim wrongly accused Sean Orr of dealing illegal drugs and initially let another councillor take the blame.
Mayor Ken Sim has said he was shown a photo that led to him making a false accusation against Coun. Sean Orr.
There IS a fake AI image that came out around Christmas that sort of matches the allegations. @kehyslop.bsky.social asked Sim about this yesterday. #vanpoli

Tonight, two of the white nationalists I reported on in this piece showed up to attempt to intimidate me on a private night out at a small music venue.
Iβll have more to say tomorrow. Iβm safe.

After weeks of work (with help!), I can reveal an Olympian as a member of the Frontenac Active Club β one who, unbeknownst to the owners, brought them to a local gym for training and propaganda photos.
Hereβs my investigation:
