City of Ch’town library mural going to out-of-province artist Incredibly frustrating to see the City of Charlottetown opt for out-of-province mural corporations and artists from Alberta/Ontario/Quebec rather than local artists. This is a semi-permanent and prominent installation — we’re not going to give it to a local? Uncomfortable given this mural is 2 blocks from the PEI Craft Council and a number of galleries. It’s up for a public vote between the 3 out-of-province submissions, but I urge you to skip the vote and go straight to sharing your thoughts in a public forum like the City’s related Facebook post or Instagram post. —— If there are any journalists interested in picking this up for an article, DM me — I can put you in contact with a couple of local artists that submitted to the original Call For Artists and would be happy to provide a quote.
VIA Rail wildfire disruptions Hi! I'm a journalist for CBC/Radio-Canada Toronto working on a story about VIA Rail'sCanadianservice disruptions caused by the wildfires in Northern Ontario. I came across some Reddit post and was wondering if anyone here that had an experience with this issue would like to share their experience in a brief interview. If you're interested, I'd be happy to provide more details. Thank you!

Looking for interviewees for an article for CIC’s Open Canada Journal Looking for treeplanters, foremen, etc. to go on the record for an article in the CIC. I’m a journalist and am on assignment to write about summer contracts in silviculture and forestry. If you are knowledgeable and experienced and willing to be interviewed, please comment and I will reach out with my information. This article will be published in the CIC’s Open Canada journal. This is not an exposé — it is a feature. Below are the details of the pitch. Hook: Summer tree planting contracts are in decline. Contracts expected to last months are ending earlier than expected, at increasing rates, leaving thousands of contract workers out of work. For the workers that remain, planting specs have grown more specific over time, making putting in high numbers which translate into high income, that much more difficult. Starting with Canadian forestry and silviculture, U.S. tariffs have begun to significantly threaten the North-South trade corridor between Canada and the United States whilst rising temperatures exacerbate preexistent geopolitical tension between the two nations. Climate angle: Rising temperatures directly impact Canadian forestry and silviculture by forcing contractors to adjust to dryer soil, soaring spring temperatures, and changing work conditions whilst attempting to work within a profit margin that is growing increasingly narrow. Tariffs angle: U.S. lumber tariffs have slashed Canadian mill profits — Canada has responded by providing multi-billion dollar loan packages and subsidies to the Canadian forestry and silviculture industry, and is in talks about diversifying their trade partners, looking particularly to the UK to fill the gap. This is a working hook and angle — open to feedback based on verifiable information. My hook and angle are based on interviews I’ve conducted on background — if you think I’m missing something or looking in the wrong direction, please let me know. Thank you for reading!
