Only one journalist was on the ground as the incident unfolded.

Trent Ernst, who runs Tumbler RidgeLines, spent Tuesday afternoon trying to inform locals about what police had described as an active shooter situation.

As the only (I think?) local reporter in Tumbler Ridge, Trent Ernst has been heroically covering the tragedy unfolding in his town. Most of his reporting is happening on Facebook, which you can find here, along with links to his Patreon. www.facebook.com/tumblerridge...

Apparently the Tumbler Ridge shooter may be a trans teenager.

If so, prepare yourself for a very ugly day online and possible in person. Depending on what line of work you are in.

Now we learn the billionaire owner of a bridge that will compete w/the new Canada-MI bridge met with Lutnick right before Trump issued his threat to shut down the new bridge. The Trump admin is a lawless mafia gangster extortion racket existing to enrich oligarchs at our expense.

QR770 continues to fail to live up to the conditions & commitments to their @crtceng.bsky.social radio licence and the unenforceable standards of the Canadian Association of Broadcasters. “Talk to the Premier” is nothing but an unpaid political advertisement masked as “journalistic editorial”.

We really, really need to get away from this quote as a Left party we need to appeal to conservative voters” strategy.

It doesn’t work.

You compromise left-wing policy and alienate your base.

And the right wing people just vote for the fucking conservatives anyway.
