I am also one of the reporters still with the company. I feel for all of my colleagues. It's a sad day.

This is an absolutely brutal day for journalism in Canada. I'm one of the reporters who somehow managed to avoid the chopping block. But I am stunned and upset, and heartbroken for my colleagues. They deserve better. #journalism #journalismmatters #yoursinsolidarity #cdnpoli



It was something I won't soon forget.

I'm a little envious that @ConnectionJohn got to interview @ScottThompson_ instead of me, not gonna lie.



One of my favourite pieces ever.

Dana Kaluzny, one of the owners of #EndswellBeer is brought to tears as Council makes decisions that will save them time & cash as they effort to get up and running in the Spring. Here's a story on their dream... simcoe.com/news-story/106…


This is an interesting turn of events. So #Collingwood Council revoked its endorsement of the MZO for the Poplar Wellness village. Story here: simcoe.com/news-story/107… But apparently, the MZO was already signed by the province. simcoe.com/news-story/107…
