Your weekly roundup.
At the Progress Report, I continued my series of exclusive stories on the big bucks publicly funded health providers are shelling out to private nursing agencies, revealing that Covenant Care is paying nearly $110 an hour to hire private registered nurses at its continuing care facilities.

In my latest piece for Jacobin, I wrote about how the cast of Liberals lining up to replace soon-to-be former prime minister Justin Trudeau and shift the party rightwards represent a narrowing of the range of Canadian political debate.
For Alberta Native News, I reported on Edmonton’s inaugural Missing and Murdered Indigenous Relatives conference.
Big Shiny Takes has returned from an almost three-month hiatus to talk to Eiynah (@NiceMangos) about Jordan Peterson’s free advice for the Jews.
