Apr 17

This piece was originally published in Ricochet. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and her entourage spent big on its trip to Dubai for the COP2…

For The Maple, I wrote an update on Postmedia’s laundering of the Jewish News Syndicate’s pro-Israel commentary as news reporting, the inherent limitations of the National NewsMedia Council and the other means by which Canada’s largest newspaper chain is accused of disguising opinion as reporting.

At Alberta Native News, I wrote about a federal court ordering the Canadian government to revise its self-determination agreement with the Métis Nation of Alberta. The initial agreement failed to recognize the authority of land-holding Métis groups, such as Fort McKay Métis Nation and Métis Settlements General Council.

wrote a lovely review of Kenneyism: Jason Kenney’s Pursuit of Power in The Tyee.

Speaking of the book, if you live in Grande Prairie, Fort McMurray, Calgary or Medicine Hat, stay tuned.
