Hi everyone, I have some big personal news: I’m moving back to Winnipeg!
Thrilled to be The Globe and Mail’s Manitoba reporter, as I join the incredible @globeandmail national team to tell stories out of this beautiful, unpredictable, sardonic and ever-evolving region of Canada.

“Canadaland brands itself as Canada's media accountability outlet … The court's findings describe an outlet that republished a known false claim, ignored documents in its own possession that disproved it, and never asked its subject to respond.”
“Canadaland Inc. and its founder Jesse Brown will pay a total of $885,000 in damages and costs to Theresa Kielburger [...] to settle her defamation lawsuit. [...] Under the settlement terms, Mr. Brown appeared in open court and read a full retraction and apology aloud. The full apology must be posted prominently and permanently on the Canadaland website and across every social media and podcast platform where the episode appears.”

Today, we're launching shift. We're starting by cleaning your apartment in New York City, for free.
Here's how it works. Book a shift cleaning. A vetted shift operator comes to your home wearing one of our devices. They clean. They leave. You pay nothing.
In exchange, we record the cleaning. Robotics is being built on data about how people do daily tasks, and the value of that recording is what funds the service. Anything personal in it is anonymized before the recording is processed.
By now, you have heard about the shift to AI more times than you can count. About the shift toward you, the part where you actually feel it, you have heard almost nothing. Shift is what starts to make it concrete, in specific cities, with specific services.
Today, cleaning in New York. Soon, handymen, repairs, and errands across the globe. And this is just one side of shift, with more on the way.
Comment “shift” and we’ll send you an early access link.

From @TheAthletic: Four years after the rebuild began, the Canadiens have arrived on the other side of it. A trip to the NHL’s final four cements it beyond a doubt.
And the beauty of it all is that the job is not even finished. nyti.ms/4tOHsDZ
