In my never-ending quest to bring 'fearless,' water-surface breaking journalism to the people of the #Outaouais, I went to @GCB_Bungee to jump off a 200ft-high tower-crane.
Sound on and volume up.

This may be the most significant data breach in Canadian history. Not in terms of the numbers, but in terms of the nature of the records compromised. "More than 1.5 million Canadian Crime Stoppers tips leaked" cbc.ca/news/investigates/can…

All aboard! Part 2 of The Hill Times' Registered Fundraiser Omnibus has arrived:
In this installment, I've focused the analysis to Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s surge to top-performing fundraiser since late 2022, and Prime Minister Mark Carney's team of top-performing ministers and ridings helping him reinvigorate the party’s war chest since the last election.

In the first instalment of this series, The Hill Times took a deep dive into the 658 registered fundraising event reports published by Elections Canada since 2019.
The fundraisers, hosted primarily by the Liberals and Conservatives, represent an estimated $61.7-million in ticket sales and prior donations from 48,006 listed attendees over the past eight years.

Totals and analysis have been updated as of Oct. 16 to include two additional Liberal events, bringing the party to 432 of the total 660 events analyzed, with 34,353 attendees valued at an estimated $41.2-million. The Conservatives’ totals are unchanged, as are those of the Bloc Québécois, NDP, and People’s Party, with overall totals having risen to 48,493 attendees and an estimated $62.5-million since 2019.

If you're wondering who is behind those Jagmeet Singh duffel bag ads on here, know that it's part of a multi-billion dollar scam empire being run out of Eastern European call centers. It's an absolutely massive problem and Canada is a priority target.

This is what we’re up against trying to report on the CFB Wainwright tragedy.
On October 18, I asked Environment Canada for the original wind-warning bulletins for the region, to make sure I hadn’t missed any and because several had since been archived online.
I also asked for the timestamped XML files — or directions on how to access them myself.
I wasn’t asking about the fire. I wasn’t asking for anything new. I was trying to retrieve historical weather warnings and records, most of which were already publicly available.
This was their response.
It took them two full working days to send this.

The DP of the film is Canadian and the Wired editorial director who put Nathan on the cover and interviewed him for the story is also Canadian. You have no idea how deep this goes. We're coming for everything
"Speculative data center debt is being repackaged and sold to pension and retirement funds, university endowments, and other institutional investors in a manner eerily reminiscent of the subprime bubble."

Three big questions ahead of budget day
1. Will the deficit decrease?
2. Will the government increase immigration and by how much?
3. Will @ChrisGNardi be sharing any of his Deep and Delicious cake ?
