Remember our investigation into Airbnb?

In 2023, we assembled a team of investigative reporters to break down the role of short-term rentals, namely corporations like Airbnb, in today's housing crisis. This year, we covered Montreal’s ban on Airbnb:

Deeply appreciate Canada’s media union speaking out against this multimillion dollar lawsuit

An attack on one is an attack on all

If they can do this to me, they can do this to you
This is an important case in defending freedom of the press.
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 🧵

Zohran #Mamdani was just elected mayor of New York City!

It should now be a wake-up call to Canadian progressives — proving that people-first politics rooted in fairness, affordability, and real unity is the way forward.

It follows a $50 million campaign earlier this year that failed to have tariffs lifted. #OnPoli
