Canadian journalists. I would read an indepth analysis of the whole Cross country checkup fiasco. Who made decisions. How the guest speakers were selected. Why concerned voices were downplayed and shushed. What impact.

On the plus side, I guess, this is the safest I’ve ever felt walking along this stretch of Dufferin. In the spirit of “sneckdown”, what are we calling this snow-based pedestrian safety infrastructure? Snollards? Snardrails? Snerms?

The fundamental problem with the ONDP and Ontario Liberals is that the parties, as organizations, have visibly become employment programs for long-tenured politicians and staff, rather than the electoral arm of larger movements intending to accomplish something.

A proposal: Academic researchers and folks in similar positions, consider writing an op-Ed, or at least a letter to the editor, in your local paper about what these horrific decisions will do to jobs and services in your local community. I train scientists to write op-Ed’s and I can help.

every time I see an American try to explain how Canada "takes advantage of" the USA, I am viscerally reminded why that entire country collectively cannot be trusted with Kinder Surprise Eggs for their own safety

they don't know what to do because they think winning elections is their job. if they had substantive ideals that they fought for, and winning elections was merely an instrument for achieving those ends, they'd know exactly what to do. they don't even realize this is a problem.

After a heavy snow one is really reminded of how little Toronto cares about pedestrians. The roads are basically passable but the sidewalks are still a mess

Ppl are talking about "picking up" scholars leaving the US bc of cutbacks, but that's not the right way to think about talent flows. Few USians will leave US; rather US will cease to be the unrivalled academic destination point. The play is for intl scholars who otherwise would have gone to US.

That old saw about how “good times make weak men” is true in the sense that stable times with material abundance create reactionaries who want to destroy the systems that protect them because they’re too sheltered and stupid to understand that things can get meaningfully worse.

I'm sorry, but "they took over the whole federal payments system, fired the career staff, and won't let anybody see what they're doing" is not a situation in which you wait for more information. It's a situation in which you assume the worst. There's no explanation for it other than rampant crimes.

While on average Americans are wealthier than Canadians, this is because of the extreme wealth of a top few Americans. The middle person in Canada, ranked by net wealth, is actually 27% wealthier than the middle American, because of 🇨🇦’s more equal distribution of wealth. 1/2
