Canada has to seize this moment to dramatically increase our own ability to produce vaccines domestically and fill the void left by the FDA. I hope the federal government is working on this, but I fear they are not.

when federal and provincial governments attack canadian higher ed, they dramatically weaken one of the best assets canada can offer the world at the exact moment that trump is gutting US higher ed: an alternative home for the world's leading research. so much for resisting trump eh?

unbelievable to me (as a CUNY alum) that anyone could accuse CUNY of antisemitism. CUNY is famously the university that admitted all of new york's best and brightest jews at a point in history when the ivies wanted none of them. when I attended in 2000s/2010s, half the profs in my dept were jewish.

if only these cockatoos could use an oven, they'd be sure to invent noodle kugel next.... (I personally do not condone kugels in any form, just pointing out that humans do sometimes eat sweet-flavoured noodles)

today I trudged over to my riding's returning office to cast my vote in the Ontario provincial election, even though I didn't feel well. much to my surprise, there was actually a lineup to vote!! I hope this means turnout for this sham election will be up and the conservatives' votes will be down.

I have had to go to the Ottawa General Hospital about 10 times in the last month due to multiple family health crises. if I go around lunchtime, the demand for parking is so high that cars are lined up down multiple blocks waiting for one vehicle at a time to leave the full lot.

yesterday, the day after a huge snowstorm across the province, google maps tried to tell me to take highway 7 (a small one-lane-each-direction highway) instead of highway 401 (the large main highway that's prioritized for snow clearance) because it is more "fuel efficient" to take highway 7.

I can barely believe that three years ago, I was just beginning the process to move back to canada from the US. I never felt totally at home in the US, and I often felt like my american friends just didn't quite "get" me. I can't imagine the level of alienation I'd feel if I were still there now.

wanna know why canadians are still cancelling their vacations to the US and shifting as much spending as possible away from the US? it's because a majority of you idiots down south still approve of what he's doing. sorry, americans on bluesky, but you gotta come get the rest of your country.

update: my upstairs neighbour once again came outside while I was shovelling, I asked him if he could maybe do the shovelling once in a while, he flipped out, got super defensive, accused me of being passive aggressive, and hurled some insults at me about my relationship.
