Several Canadian news orgs have already left X, but I believe @pressprogress.ca may be the first to adopt a policy setting standards around use of digital platforms
We think it's time news orgs stop prioritizing clicks and start requiring higher standards from these platforms

NDP denounces the illegal attack of Trump against the venezuelian regime. Latin America is not owned by the USA and it’s not its playground. International law and the people’s right to self determination exists. The liberal government should clearly defend these principles. #NDP @ndp.ca #cdnpoli

With no anti-SLAPP protection in Alberta, they've been drawn into a long, costly legal battle.
If you believe in accountability and a free press, and can spare it, give them your support.

Hi Bluesky 👋
Small life update: I’m at the centre of a multimillion dollar lawsuit in Alberta launched by a failed candidate for Jason Kenney’s UCP
It may be the longest and most expensive media trial in Canadian history
I’m ready to go public about it and I want to share more details with you 🧵
