Word of the Week

Contempt - the feeling that a person or a thing is beneath consideration, worthless, or deserving scorn

Quote of the Week

"It's one thing for our journalists to deal with toxicity on these platforms. It's another for our audience members who try to engage with and discuss our journalism to encounter it on platforms such as Facebook and Twitter, where they are almost guaranteed to be confronted by hate, racism and abuse." - CBC editor in Chief Brodie Fenlon on the fabricated dangers of free speech
