A Canadian journalism community for independent news, reports, blogs, editorials, and whatever.

*Independent journalism is generally free from government and corporate interests, and not controlled by a major media conglomerate. “Independence” is a gradient, so use your best judgement when posting.

*Current depends on whether new, publicly available information has been released since the article has last been updated. When in doubt, add the publishing or last revision date to the title in a tag [like this.]

Check out !Independent_Media@lemmy.today for independent news from around the world.

Or go to !wildfeed@sh.itjust.works for a less serious, anything-goes news community

All communities were created with the goal of increasing media literacy and media pluralism.

This month, the Surrey, B.C.-based website reported Vancouver politician William Azaroff had resigned from his role as executive director of a municipal party over a slew of scandalous resurfaced Tweets.

Surrey Speak didn’t say what Azaroff supposedly wrote, but reported it had to do with “issues of race, Indigenous identity and political ideology.”

Azaroff, Surrey Speak reported, had issued a regretful statement, and his party had promised to chart a new direction.

But none of that actually happened.

Azaroff never stepped down as the executive director of his party, OneCity. He couldn’t, because he has never held that position. He didn’t resign from anything. In fact, he had just been named the party’s nominee in an upcoming mayoral election.

As for the Tweets? Azaroff, a mild-mannered man who runs a non-profit housing development company, said he had never written anything resembling what Surrey Speak described.
