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.

*All souces must be based in Canada but do not need to be about Canada.

*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.

“Harry Potter has been a beloved part of so many of our guests’ lives for decades and we couldn’’t be more excited for Canadians to discover the wizarding world at Tims restaurants,” Hope Bagozzi, Tim Hortons’ chief marketing officer, said in a press release Monday.

So to be clear: the discount Canadian coffee chain where I get my daily slurry of caffeine, cream and sugar syrup alongside a tragic-looking sour-cream-glazed donut and whatever a protein bagel is … is apparently going to become the place to “discover the wizarding world” of an almost three-decade-old book series by a British author who has since pivoted to campaigning against the human rights of trans people.

I'm a millennial with no real connection to Harry Potter, but people's nostalgia for the subject makes them fucking insane when it comes to the subject.
