During World War One, Canadians encouraged one another to Buy Canadian. Now that Buy Canadian First had been revived, maybe it’s time to re-issue these cute stamps. What do you think Canada Post? Image Source: acrobat.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:...

All shall pass, and to dust I shall return, but I hope that long after I am gone and forgotten, my voice shall still be explaining the origin of maize at the Field Museum in Chicago.

On my way to Montreal for the #CEA2025 #CAES2025 annual meeting and I am curious about what everyone’s favourite historic sights are in the city? If anyone else at the conference wants to join me for some Historic Adventures I’m all ears!

Grateful to have an audience with His Majesty King Charles III this afternoon. Tomorrow, His Majesty will deliver the Speech from the Throne, nearly 70 years after Canada’s Sovereign first opened Parliament. It is an historic honour that matches the weight of our times.

Re the from the rest of the world views for Canadian PhD programs: perhaps you're worried about reports you've heard of caps on international student numbers - they are almost certainly not relevant to PhD applications. We've got great programs: check us out!

Just read this truly lovely history of the fixed effects estimator, a concept I've repeatedly taught and used but never knew the origins of. (Also helps me justify never using random effects!) Thanks to Marc Bellemare and @dlmillimet.bsky.social for writing it. www.aeaweb.org/articles?id=...

I'm sharing an image a day to celebrate the vibrant and unique culture and history of Canada. Today it is a group of Nursing Sisters at a Canadian field hospital in France, voting in the 1917 federal election. #ProudlyCanadian #ElbowsUp 📸LAC 3194224

A lot of Americans don't know this, but the winner of the Canadian election will be required live in a small cottage located in the backyard of the palace where the viceroy to the King of England lives. The cottage just recently got a new wifi router, which was very exciting for all Canadians.

My request for this week is that media outlets do not refer to Trump’s tariffs as “reciprocal” (except in scare quotes). None of our trade partners have tariffs on US goods anywhere near the massive 10-30% universal tariffs Trump is proposing He’s starting this not retaliating
