    Three tweets that new Torstar CEO Marina Glogovac has deleted since yesterday:
    September 1, 2021, tweet from Roman Baber (Roman_Baber):

Like most Public Health nonsense, the passport won't stop the spread. But it will cause apartheid, hate, bankruptcy and an unprecedented Gov't intervention in our lives.

@fordnation sold Ontario out. He can't stand up to the Covid mob. #FireFord #onpoli

He links to a Brian Lilley column about Ford moving ahead with vaccine passports.

To which Marina Glogovac (@MarinaGlogovac) replied:

Vaccinated+had Covid, but, I will not step into any establishment that requires passports, on principle. Did the living in a communist country thing, thank you. Plus, it's completely illogical. Both groups spread the same! This is not about safety."
    December 4, 2021, tweet from Baber:

I lived the first 9 years of my life in Communist USSR. See pic of me in a Soviet school uniform.

When I compare @fordnation gov't conduct to that of Communist regimes, I don't do so lightly. Speaker @MPPArnottWHH turned off my mic. I finish the statement from my office. #onpoli

There's a video of him speaking.

To which Glogovac replied:

I lived the first 26 years of my life - and like you, I see what's coming. Here we have a curious and powerful emergence of ""mass formation"" - a psychological phenomenon that enabled all totalitarian regimes. Us /them. Passports, memberships. Segregation. Those with resources win
    July 27, 2021, tweet from Baber:

Ontario CMOH, Dr. Moore, joyfully telling parents that vaccinated children and unvaccinated children will be subjected to two different sets of rules in school. 

We must not permit @fordnation &  @Sflecce to create two classes of Ontario children. #onpoli #onted

To which Glogovac replied:

Does not matter what he thinks! It matters what Pfizer executives think and want - we are witnessing a policy and government capture by a massive corrupt drone corporation. Dig deeper folks.

    62 journalists at the Toronto Star have signed a letter to management concerning a "hateful, racist reply-all email" sent last week by columnist Rosie DiManno:
    A letter to the Toronto Star
NOTE: THIS IS AN INTERNAL MESSAGE. PLEASE DO NOT SHARE PUBLICLY.

To:
Irene Gentle, Editor in Chief of the Toronto Star
Wayne Parrish, Torstar’s senior vice-president editorial 
John Boynton, President and Chief Executive Officer of Torstar and Publisher of the Toronto Star 
David Callum, Toronto Star Human Resources 

On Wednesday, August 19, Rosie DiManno sent a hateful, racist reply-all email in response to Shree Paradkar’s appointment as internal ombud as “part of developing structures to ensure Black, Indigenous and journalists of colour have a way to be safely and clearly heard by colleagues, decision makers and leaders.” 

DiManno called the role of an internal ombudsperson — a position developed to create a safe space for BIPOC newsroom members to raise editorial concerns — a "fucking abomination." This is an unacceptable denigration of the concerns and experiences of BIPOC newsroom members; it is in effect an example of the kind of racism…
    DiManno has been degrading and aggressive to members of multiple departments and has never faced repercussions that we have seen, given their continuous occurrence. This bullying happens over the phone, in direct emails and out in the open. Our managers have not acted. We are all aware of the pervasive abuse these teams have been subjected to. We feel this impunity reflects a larger culture at this newsroom. 

In the wake of DiManno's reprehensible comments, only one staff member addressed DiManno’s behaviour directly. This speaks to the invisible hierarchies in place in the Star newsroom. Afterward, Wayne Parrish and John Boynton sent an email expressing support for Paradkar. We want them and other senior managers at the Star to publicly condemn DiManno's comments. Failure to do so suggests that some in this newsroom follow different rules than the rest of us. 

Additionally, if our predominantly white newsroom leaders do not address this, it clearly reinforces the need for…
    The Star has expressed a commitment to anti-racism, pledged to listen, learn and take meaningful action. We ask that the company do so now.

We insist management enforce DiManno's participation in anti-racism training, for DiManno to apologize to the newsroom and demonstrate an understanding of why these measures are necessary.

Signed, the impacted and supporters of those impacted:

    A statement from our publisher on the libel suit against our podcast, The White Saviors:

    Replying to @CANADALAND
    WE Charity told the CBC they "never paid an honorarium to these individuals for their involvement." Turns out that WE entities actually paid over $350k for speeches by Margaret and Sasha Trudeau.
