My latest for PressProgress. Grocery prices have gone up this past year, and some Canadians are having to make some tough choices.
Some Grocery Items Have Increased Dramatically In Price Since Last Year. “This is Unprecedented Inflation,” Experts Say.
Rising costs are contributing to food insecurity and tougher choices for Canadians.

Are PressProgress and/or the Narwhal third-party advertisers?
This would be simple to settle if journalists could still say: let's get rid of them from press spaces, not because they're on the *wrong* political side, but because we are journalists and they are activists.
But then could PressProgress still attend? Could The Narwhal? 7/x

But I'm burying the lede!
I stepped down from PressProgress at the start of this week. Trolls are celebrating, but that's a proof point of how much my journalism got under their skin
I left on my own terms, was not fired or laid off. It was not due to "financial pressures" or a lawsuit. I'm A-OK 👍
