    I'm starting a new role at the Globe today -- Future of Work reporter! This is a big departure from what I have been reporting on for years (cannabis, crypto, Bay St, markets), but is very much aligned with my core interests. I'm thrilled, tbh.

    Here's a story. Dias also said in an email about his retirement to staff that he was suffering from a nerve-related condition that was "debilitating", but in that email, did not mention the investigation:

    I'm sorry but the framing of this interview — that it is exclusively a group of truckers objecting to cross-border vaccine mandates — is just flat-out inaccurate.

    On today’s Daily: inside the profoundly un-Canadian occupation of Ottawa by hundreds of truckers. went to the protest to figure out what’s really going on — and whether we’re witnessing the birth of a new kind of politics in Canada.

    This is beyond grotesque. 90% of Afghans live in poverty. That’s their money. And remind us, did Saudi Arabia pay compensation to the victims of 9/11?

    President Biden has signed an executive order to clear a path for releasing about $3.5 billion of frozen Afghan assets held in the U.S. to be used for humanitarian aid in Afghanistan. An equal amount would go to relatives of the victims of the Sept. 11 attacks.

    For the US, stealing from and starving the impoverished citizens of countries targeted by US regime change wars is actually not highly unusual.

    Breaking News: President Biden is moving to split $7 billion in frozen Afghan central bank assets between 9/11 victims’ families and humanitarian aid in Afghanistan. The highly unusual set of moves is expected to be announced on Friday.

    genuinely asking if someone can explain to me how more politicians “denouncing illegal acts” will fix this mess we are in. Like is this some kind of legit well thought out strategy ?

    Finally, I briefed the leaders of the opposition parties on the current situation and the latest developments. I stressed how important it is for all Members of Parliament, from every party, to denounce these illegal acts – and to call for an end to these blockades.
