Opinion: Catch me covering all things Whistler, or dangling from a highline on weekends
Here I was, happily thinking about other people’s stories, and now I’m in the recesses of my memories. Youthful days were spent playing softball, exploring local creeks and swimming at the pool through humid summers. Eventually, I studied broadcast journalism at Fanshawe College in London, Ont., then travelled west for a couple years. Then, out of the blue, a journalism school colleague sent me a posting for a reporter position with Pique Newsmagazine in Whistler. Journalism isn’t easy, but when you care about the work and the people whose stories you get to tell, it makes the job worthwhile.

NDP MP raps Conservative over ‘fake news’ video - National
NDP MP Matthew Green says Conservative MP Branden Leslie should apologize for a video published on Leslie’s social media accounts that mixes clips from television newscasts with doctored clips and out-of-context clips. He said he would ask the committee to consider Leslie’s video as part of its deliberations. The four-minute-long video is a critique, narrated by Leslie, of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s legacy. It imagines a day when Trudeau has resigned and, to use Leslie’s phrase, “the media … fawn all over him” and his legacy. Fred Delorey, who was the Conservative national campaign director for the 2021 general election, agreed with Leslie’s assessment.
