CAJ: “Targeting a journalist for simply doing their job is a cowardly act that endangers not only the reporter, but also the vital public interest work that journalism represents. Carrie Tait should be saluted for her work — not spoofed or surveilled.” caj.ca/statement-on-t…

From story on Alberta journalist intimidation: When a Globe reporter asked Ms. Smith about the story ... she said “I’m not talking about that” and laughed as she walked away. In an interview with CTV later in the day, she said, “I condemn it.” theglobeandmail.com/canada/alberta…
The mayor of Jasper just confirmed that the municipality will not be offering an apology to Premier Danielle Smith and Alberta, as she has demanded. He says the report is not political and does not lay blame, as the premier has stated. #ableg #cdnpoli
speaking as an actuary, i simply love the "you're on a 1-100 flood plain" and her asking "what year are we on?" just fantastic. you understand, intellectually, that basically no one can think statistically but seeing it in action like this is <chef's kiss>
This woman OWNS 37 acres of land. The government STILL told her she can’t put a tiny home on it. “I said, I own the land. It's massive. What's the problem?” Even when you own the land, the government still tries to tell you what you're allowed to do with it.

Hi, yes, g'morning. This is awkward. But targeting a reporter - hi! - with surreptitiously obtained photos and details of her tooling around town is an attack on the public's right to know. theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…
When I was in Alberta this spring working on a story, people across the political spectrum praised her important reporting. These dirty tricks are a sign of how effective that reporting has been.

“In 47 years, I’ve never seen my father doodle.”
My father has a very specific way of speaking. People all over the world have mimicked it for decades. The insanity written in the Wall Street Journal, AIN’T IT and everyone knows it. Also in 47 years I’ve never seen him doodle once. Give me a break with the fake “journalisming’
