Steve McCauley fell ill with COVID-19 in early 2020 and developed persistent symptoms that have lasted since, including brain fog, exhaustion and a chronic cough. “I’m half the person I used to be,” he says.

He used to do custom art installations, a physically demanding job that required him to lift stone and other heavy materials. Now, any prolonged exertion easily exhausts him. He and his family sold their Surrey, B.C. home to make ends meet.

Like a lot of foreigners eager to fight the Russians, Paul Hughes arrived in Ukraine from Calgary expecting to be handed a gun and taken straight to the front line.
tgam.ca/3iG5bE1
Hughes, 57, is an anti-poverty activist who spent some time with the Princess Patricia Light Infantry years ago. He'd felt compelled to join the fight after Russia invaded, even though all he knew about Ukraine was that it contained a city called Kyiv.
tgam.ca/3iG5bE1
He was given a plane ticket by a generous donor and arrived in Lviv on March 4, eager to sign up with the newly formed International Legion for the Territorial Defence of Ukraine.

For Taylor Behn-Tsakoza of the Fort Nelson First Nation, in Northern B.C., going to the Vatican has sparked a mix of emotions – it’s both an honour to represent her generation and a time to reflect on the harmful legacy of the schools.
tgam.ca/3IEhAmt
The 26-year-old is one of two youth representatives in the Assembly of First Nations’ delegation and an intergenerational survivor – her aunties and uncles were forced to attend residential schools, and her dad went to a day school in Northern B.C.
“I was born in 1996, the year the last residential school closed. Although I never attended, I absolutely still suffer the effects and impacts of residential school,” she said. “Going to the Vatican, as the youth representative, is really something that I don’t take lightly.”

It took 20 years of covering Ukraine to prepare me for three weeks of war, writes @markmackinnon in his must-read account of how Ukraine’s hopes for freedom and Putin’s dreams of a ‘Russian World’ brought them to this moment
tgam.ca/3IODgN2
📍 MacKinnon first landed in Kyiv in 2002, when another war loomed – the U.S. invasion of Iraq.

He watched an outdoor concert in the city’s historic Podil neighbourhood, where the musicians played songs by Russian bands like DDT, Kino and Splean.
📍 This latest reporting trip had MacKinnon landing in Ukraine on Jan. 15, 2022, via Kyiv’s Boryspil Airport.

The Boryspil Airport was bombed on the first day of the war, Feb. 24.

This is the story of how the arrest of a Canadian hacker unveiled the rise of ‘ransomware as a service’ out of Russia 🧵

tgam.ca/36HwLhv
It starts with Sebastien Vachon-Desjardins, a successful ransomware hacker who made millions in just over a year by invading corporate computer networks and holding records hostage, releasing the data only when the firms, schools or government agencies he had targeted paid him.
When police raided Vachon-Desjardins' home last year, they found $300,000 in Canadian currency before seizing cryptocurrency wallets holding millions.

He confessed, and said that there were some computer systems he and his accomplices would never breach.

In Canada, charging someone for a hate crime rarely happens. A Globe and Mail investigation found that of the 13 largest municipal and regional police forces, laying charges for a hate crime varied from a low of 6 per cent to a high of 28 per cent.

tgam.ca/3IHZYWV Image
“Hate crime charges have been abysmally low and convictions are even lower, like the level of deterrence is so little that it's almost negligible,” Mohammed Hashim, executive director of the Canadian Race Relations Foundation, told The Decibel.

“When people go to the police, are they saying it's hate motivated? If they're saying it's hate motivated, is the officer writing [that down]? Is it then getting flagged to the hate crimes unit to investigate?”
