After a COVID hiatus in 2020 and 2021, the Peace Basketball Tournament returned to Preston and Halifax on Thursday. The tournament was inspired, in part, to help rally against violence in the Black community and the trauma it causes. This is the fourth Peace Basketball Tournament and the first to be held in three years. […]

In 1995, Brenda Way was brutally murdered behind a Dartmouth apartment building. In 1999, Glen Assoun was found guilty of the murder. He served 17 years in prison, but steadfastly maintained his innocence. In 2019, Glen Assoun was fully exonerated.

Halifax Examiner founder and investigative journalist Tim Bousquet has followed the story of Glen Assoun's wrongful conviction for over five years. Now, Bousquet tells that story as host of Season 7 of the CBC podcast series Uncover: Dead Wrong.

Episode 95 of The Tideline, with Tara Thorne, is published.

A white woman with light brown wavy hair, wearing a black top and dark rimmed glasses rests with her face in her hand.

Halifax poet laureate Sue Goyette, an early-run Tideline guest, returns one last time to discuss her new bookMonoculture,out in October. Neither poetry nor fiction, its hybrid form imagines a near future where Nova Scotia’s last living forest has become a tourist attraction and explores our relationship to trees and the land through the website’s comments section. It’s ever evocative and poignant and at turns funny, enraged, and in awe of its surroundings. Sue speaks to its creation, her deep relationships to the elements, and the deplorable way they’ve been treated.
