👋 Please watch! A little personal news I wanted you to hear from me. Next Friday, November 13, will be my last day on air with CTV News Windsor. A huge thank you to YOU for being part of my four years here. And an even bigger thank you to my amazing coworkers at CTV Windsor.

I'll share more about what's next for me in the weeks to come. But for now, I just want you to know how grateful I am. And I won't be offended if you need to unfollow me when I stop sharing Windsor-Essex news every day!

Getting back on air has been a scary prospect following my crash, but the warm welcome I’ve received is incredibly humbling. I’ve tried to share my ride as best I can and I hope it shows those going through it now, things can get better. ctvnews.ca/windsor/article/t…

Guys, listen to your body! Steve Brown is sharing a painful reminder of why that matters. What he hoped would pass turned out to be a ruptured appendix — and a 10-day hospital stay. Now, the Windsor dad wants others to hear his story.

Concerning!
I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.

I spent last night at Wheatley Provincial Park, where Environment Canada says radar confirmed a tornado. Despite the downed trees and damage, campers and staff were in good spirits after what they described as a pretty scary ordeal.

I encourage everyone to read Dream More by Dolly Parton. It’s a quick, light and inspiring read. Her perspective on life was truly one of a kind. I’d also recommend listening to the WNYC Studios podcast Dolly Parton’s America. There will never be another Dolly Parton.

Devastating.
A message from the family of Dolly Parton.

The best fun fact from yesterday’s historic bridge opening did not actually happen yesterday. Capped off an amazing day covering the Gordie Howe International Bridge from just about every angle by sharing a fact I’ve been forcing on friends and coworkers for eight months.

Good morning from the Gordie Howe International Bridge! Members of the Howe family will soon make history as the first official passengers to drive across the span.

For eight years, Chris Jacobson has been documenting eastern screech owls in his Windsor backyard. 🦉 This morning, one owlet took its first leap from the nest. The moment was caught on camera — and it's pretty incredible to see.

The team behind the Gordie Howe International Bridge tells CTV News it’s still on track to open this spring. With less than three weeks left before the season ends, however, there’s still no opening date. – at Windsor, Ontario

As video of Windsor police shooting a man — who later died — circulates online, we brought in a veteran officer to break down what’s happening in those critical seconds… and how officers are trained to respond.
