🐋🕊🐕 We’re endlessly fascinated by local critters, big and small. And there are always more to learn about from our readers’ backyards. So Tyee readers, what’s your favourite local critter? 

.Paul Willcocks: I’ve been a newspaper publisher, editor, reporter and am co-ordinating The Tyee election coverage with a great team. I have never wanted my media outlet to become the story. But that’s what happened, due to the Conservatives’ tactics.

Jeevan Sangha: I wonder what it would take for celebrity production teams to act on the work that local organizations specializing in addressing intimate partner violence do every day. If they could, “It Ends with Us” would be a different film.

Alberta’s lawyers police their own. The process is brutal and broken. Three witnesses in a recent conduct tribunal say they were forced to endure hell. A Tyee special report from Charles Rusnell. #abpoli
