  • The government definitely could have been the ones to take the lead on this. Reading the article, it seems like the solution is for Canadians to get on the platform and show that we’re here

    Lamrock said that most of X’s value comes from the days when it was Twitter and the fact that many governments are still on the platform from those days.

    The City of Fredericton recently stopped suing X, but spokesperson Marley McLellan said the decision was made after a survey that showed residents were using X less and less to find information about city services.

    “The city looks forward to continuing to share information and connect with residents on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, the website and through newsletters,” McLellan wrote in an email.

    Are people really getting government updates through LinkedIn?









  • Ontario’s police watchdog says it is not investigating the case of a lawyer who is alleging that multiple Durham Regional Police Service officers slammed her head on a desk without provocation and dragged her to the basement cells of the Oshawa courthouse last week.

    Riley, through a statement issued by her lawyer, Neha Chugh, said she was working in an interview room at the courthouse last Friday when uniformed officers “challenged her presence” in the room.

    In the statement, Chugh said police, who were working as security, slammed Riley’s head on the desk and put their knees on her back and neck, and spoke to her with “rage, disrespect, and contempt.”

    She said officers then forcibly “dragged” Riley from the room in handcuffs and took her to the basement cells of the courthouse.

    “Her head scarf was ripped off, her skirt was raised when she was handled by officers, and her head was bleeding and her eye swollen from being slammed into the desk,” Chugh’s statement reads.

    “She committed no offence other than being a Black woman practising law, being diligent about her commitment to the pursuit of justice.”
