ICYMI: Feb. 24 - March 2
Your weekly roundup.
I watched an old episode of Real Time with Bill Maher and went on I Hate Bill Maher to talk about it with comedian and former Calgarian Will Weldon.
At the Progress Report, I wrote about some of the companies that received the largest nursing contracts from Alberta Health Services over the past two years, which I had to obtain through FOIP because they weren’t being publicly disclosed.
I also wrote about the 2025 Alberta budget’s ramifications for education, both K-12 and post-secondary. Readers of this newsletter might be interested to know that MaKami College is now getting public funding.
I had to delay Part II of my story on the police violence directed at the University of Calgary Palestine encampment last year while I seek comment from the cops. It should be out tomorrow.
In the meantime, you can catch up on Part I.
And you can read the story I wrote last year on the University of Alberta encampment.
