My first story on the health beat is about the law that keeps 90% of Ontario's healthcare workers from being able to take strike action. It's being challenged by the Ontario Nurses' Association, but in the meantime, unions like CUPE say employers rely on the law to avoid bargaining in good faith.

This is, without a doubt, the correct decision. I expect the ghouls who were eagerly anticipating the chance to celebrate lengthy prison sentences for Kalicum and Nyx will have extremely normal reactions to this.

Going to the second wedding in two weeks today. I also found out I've been to 20 weddings with my partner. We have to find a way to throw cheaper parties.

I think the "debate" about bringing iced coffee to job interviews is effective at distracting people from the really bad job market, the high unemployment rate for Black women, ongoing mass layoffs in tech and media, and how Gen Z workers are refusing to adopt many toxic aspects of corp work culture

I'm reminded that the argument of "not leaving twitter because that's where everyone is" is complete nonsense every time I talk to a normal, well-adjusted, offline person. Most people you know are not posting.

This story was so interesting to cover in person, and it's definitely not the last thing I'm writing about data centres in Canada. Stay tuned for a little more this/next week.

@ericwickham.ca was at the Mississauga city council meeting where a pause on data centres was unanimously passed. That pause might not mean much in the face of provincial and federal governments that appear to be all-in on data center development.

I was once asked by a student at a journalism conference how I managed to get where I did in my career. I first told them they should aim higher than this. Then I told them that my career has worked out for me despite making dozens of wrong turns. There's no playbook to follow.

It's interesting to see actual movement stemming from the prevailing ideological divide within a conservative political apparatus. How many more right wing parties in Canada have this internal conflict between MAGA-esque culture warriors and business people that really hate taxes?

Between this, the Globe and Mail piece, and his upcoming (second!!) book, I couldn't be more proud of my friend Jeremy. He's a great reporter, managed to do this very difficult job on his own terms, always led with his principles, and we all benefit from his work.

This is insane, because the story about this that gained traction (in my humble opinion) completely mischaracterizes that memo from senior CBC staff. It never said 9/11 wasn't a terrorist attack, it said to attribute that statement to a source.
