A few months ago I wrote about how the Sask. Health Ministry had the Roughriders weigh in on issuing a PSA over COVID-19 cases at the team's 2021 home opener.
But the story was delayed because the Ministry of Health failed to comply with @SKGov's own legislated timelines in responding to my request.
It's not just me saying that. A @SaskIPC report set to be released next week agrees.

It would be prudent for people who haven’t covered/are unfamiliar with Nova Scotia to not attempt to extrapolate tonight’s result and apply it to the upcoming federal election.

Never check your inbox. Sometimes people call you racial slurs and other times, like today, you get called a minority hire.
Slurs are worse but I'd like to talk about countering imposter syndrome and the concept of being hired just because you're a minority in media.
First thing first. Everyone should acknowledge that media has historically been and continue to be overwhelmingly white.
It needs to change and get better at representing the diverse audience it covers.

I think the most remarkable thing about the latest episode of #TedLasso is the way it grapples with redemption.
Both Rebecca and Jamie are forced to accept that apologizing isn’t enough.
A 🧵 with spoilers
There are two sides to this.
1) You have to change yourself
2) Accept that apologizing might not be enough.
As Nora says:
“Sometime you have to do the right thing, even if you lose.”
