[META] Eight new news sources

[rfmcdonald]

It's time to add new links and news sources to my blogroll, ones reflecting my interests.

• CityLab is a great news source looking at different urban phenomena within individual cities and uniting cities. CityLab hosts Sam Weber's article looking at the many problems facing North Korean defectors as they try to assimilate into ultra-sophisticated Seoul.


• The Conversation CA hosts Stephen Scherer's article explaining the importance of sequencing the genomes of Canadian animals.


• The Discourse is a new Canadian media start-up promising in-depth coverage on Canadian issues. Before the recent Ontario election, they started a hashtag, #GTADiscourse, to see what people in the GTA underserved by the media were concerned about.


• The Guardian Cities takes a look at urban issues around the world. I liked this Mireille Silcoff article explaining the import of 1 July to the inhabitants of Montréal: It's moving day!


• Steve Benjamins hosts Village, a new subscriber-only newsletter focusing on Toronto. I liked this article about a Seaton Village beekeeper, here.


• The venerable hard-left Canadian news site Rabble has plenty of thought-provoking articles, like Barâa Arar's essay explaining their fear of what a Doug Ford government in Ontario might do.


• American queer magazine Them has plenty of great articles. I liked this one confirming that Tessa Thompson, Valkyrie in Thor and Janelle Monáe's rumoured girlfriend, is out as bi.


• Toronto website and discussion forum Urban Toronto reports on a massive mural set to grace the Parkside Student Residences at Jarvis and Carlton.
