I've slowly been doing some individual reporting on my Tiktok while Canadian News Access is sorted out. I have new stories coming soon! Please check it out if you'd like: tiktok.com/@sidrajafri

Today, Google agreed to inject $100M into Canada's news sector. In Australia, Meta and Google combined paid news orgs about $190M CAD under their law. If Google's share was 50%, that's $90M CAD. Aus has 25M people. Canada has 40M. That's $3.6/person in Aus vs. $2.5 in Canada. twitter.com/newlinesmag/st…

Jamie Sarkonak: Muslim charity under CRA microscope for ties to alleged Hamas front nationalpost.com/opinion/jamie-…

Verdict expected shortly in the London Hate Crime trial. It’s the first time terror charges are being considered by a Canadian jury. Defence tried to cast doubt on pre-meditation with Veltman’s mental health issues, and the fact that he’d taken magic mushrooms the day before..

I believe this is the first time the family of the Afzaal’s have addressed the media. Madiha Salman’s mother calling Nathanial Veltman a terrorist who intended to instill fear in the community

Frantic Pre arrival footage at 114 Kitchener Rd in Scarborough just before the noon hour this morning. P234 advanced the 65” on arrival for the fully involved remains of a home. @TPFFA twitter.com/DurhamResponse…

My name is written in Arabic and in English on Instagram and Twitter, so plz stop writing my name wrong especially when texting me for interviews.. and plz stop asking me “How are you?” and “What are you doing?” there is no answers to these questions..

As Canadians start to trickle out of Gaza, we are hearing heartbreaking accounts of what they saw. This guest broke down talking about those he left behind, leaving host @MarciaMacMillan in tears. How much more carnage does the world have to witness to end this madness?

“Do we feel the pain or do we just die at once?” Al Jazeera correspondent @YoumnaElSayed17 tells @Dena how she’s having to speak to her children about death as Israel’s bombardment of Gaza continues.

Disturbed to hear about two fire bombing at a synagogue in Montreal. We can’t fight hate with more hate. So many Jews are opposed to what is happening Gaza. This is not a religious issue, this is a human rights issue

The @OntarioNDP have kicked Sarah Jama out of their party after comments she made this morning condemning Israel’s attacks on Gaza. She will now sit as an independent, but is still awaiting a censure vote today that would mean she won’t be able to speak or vote in the legislature

If you’re watching coverage that’s lacking context/voices, email the news outlet. Journalists (particularly of colour) have been asking for fairer coverage from inside the newsroom and are often punished for it.

@NatashaFatah Excited to have you back! Let’s have a coffee some time ❤️

48 hours ago, police arrived at our house to inform our family that my father was struck by a driver while riding his bike on the QEW. He is in critical condition. These photos are the result of someone’s negligence. I show this in the hopes that no other family EVER has to see… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Sometimes journalism is hard, and a bit cruel, but a lot of times it’s meaningful. Getting to listen/share people’s stories is something I will never take for granted - it's the most valuable part of the job for me.

@itsginellamassa Proud of you Ginella!!

For the first time since 1960, both actors and writers have officially gone on strike — shutting down film and television projects in Hollywood and around the world.

@temurdur @globeandmail Temur this is a whole fanfiction come to life!

Anyway, I wrote another small poem after my vacation. Check it out! Also on my insta @sidspoken!

@Michelle_ago @edgykristina It’s happened a couple times to me as well when people ask for help! I asked a nearby police over who confirmed it’s a scam. You answered and helped her to the best of your abilities! There was nothing you could do to get her car back, don’t worry!

my mother just looked up from her new york times crossword and asked me what the tip of a shoelace was called and i felt a sense of cosmic satisfaction i doubt most people will feel across their entire lives

@edgykristina I love this story. I find it so hard to gauge the authenticity of a person in a crisis now a days. I tend to lean to the thought that they’re trying to scam or steal from me. I’m not sure how to adjust being so cautious, while also being able to help people in need.

My Threads is @sidspoken ;)

@ginellamassa Once I become a reporter/anchor I’ll be the tallest woman 🤞🏽

All the major networks have now declared it for @oliviachow. Worth mentioning she makes history as Toronto’s first woman of colour to be elected mayor.

On behalf of all Toronto residents, I want to congratulate Olivia Chow on being elected our city's next Mayor tonight.   Earlier this evening, I spoke to Mayor-elect Chow and committed to supporting an orderly transition of the Mayor's Office in the coming days.
