While, for the first time in decades, there’s a nonzero chance of Canada getting smaller (with Alberta maybe wanting out and the U.S. maybe wanting in), PressProgress, at least, is only getting bigger.

That’s… something?

On this extra-festive edition of Sources, Eric speaks to Emma, Stephen, Rumneek and Jonathan about some of the favourite stories they’ve worked on this year and the many ways that this place has grown.

Stories discussed include:

• "While workers walk the picket lines, DHL brings in scabs by the busload" (June 18)

• "The Albertans Counting on America to Help Break Apart Canada" (July 25)

• "There’s a Wave of Violence Targeting Canadian Sikhs, and the Government Seems Powerless to Stop It" (Nov. 18)

• "Ben Mulroney is Blurring the Lines Between Journalism, Business, Lobbying and Partisan Politics" (Sept. 22)

• "The Campaigns Targeting Canadian Doctors Who Want to Discuss the Health Crisis in Gaza" (Sept. 18)

• "Journalist in Poilievre’s Viral 'Apple' Video Says Election Results Bring Him 'Satisfaction'" (April 30)

And note: We recorded this episode before Elections Alberta gave its go-ahead to the separatists’ latest petition application, and also prior to the OneBC party losing official status in the BC legislature. A couple weeks, it turns out, really can be a long time in politics.
