Good morning everyone. #JournoRequest: I’m reporting a story for The Margin on access to generic semaglutide in Canada. I’m hoping to speak with people who have been prescribed semaglutide and are waiting for, trying to switch to, or trying to find the generic version. I’m especially interested in hearing from people who: – were priced out of brand-name Ozempic – delayed starting because of cost – stretched or rationed doses because it was too expensive – were told by a pharmacy that the generic is approved but not yet available – are dealing with insurance or coverage questions – are paying out of pocket and hoping the generic will make it more affordable This story is about the gap between a drug being approved and patients actually being able to access it — and what that gap has cost people. Please feel free to message me privately. I’m a journalist based in Ontario, and I’m happy to explain the story before you decide whether you’d like to speak. Or you could email me: [email redacted]

Are workers actually getting their tip money? Hi everyone, I'm a journalist working on a story about Vancouver's growing tipping culture and how it affects both customers and service workers. It seems like suggested tip amounts have steadily increased over the years, but I'm particularly interested to find out if the workers are actually receiving the tips customers leave. If you work in the service industry, I'd love to hear your perspective. Like, how do tip pools work at your workplace? Have you experienced a lack of transparency regarding tip distribution? Do you feel customers understand where their tips are going? Feel free to comment below or send me a private message if you'd prefer to speak privately. Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences and insights.
Airdrie/Rocky View Polish Canadian community — looking for local voices Hi everyone! Anna Ferensowicz here — journalist with DiscoverAirdrie and Air 106.1 FM. I’m hoping to connect with Airdrie or Rocky View County residents who have ties to Alberta’s Polish Canadian community. Polish Canadian Heritage Day in Alberta is coming up June 13 and 14, with events taking place in Calgary. This year’s events focus on Poland’s Solidarity movement, the 1980s immigration wave and Polish Canadian heritage in Alberta. I’d love to speak with someone local who is planning to attend, has family history connected to that period, or would be willing to talk about what Polish Canadian heritage means to them or their family. Please feel free to comment below or send me a message if you’re open to chatting. Pozdrawiam serdecznie!
Callout: cost of being a soccer fan in Canada for The Globe and Mail Hi everyone! I'm Zarif, a personal finance reporter for The Globe and Mail. With the World Cup only a week away, I wanted to write a story about how much fans pay to follow the sport year-round. With multiple streaming platforms and cable channels for various leagues and competitions, fans could be paying well over $75 per month to follow the sport. I'd love to hear more about fans' experiences following the men's and women's national teams or their favourite club teams in Canada or Europe. Feel free to drop me an email at [email redacted] and we can set up a call. Thanks!
