Hey Ontario - get out and vote early if you can!

I had no problem seeing this floof! They did, however, run directly in front of the snowmobile and then stop to pose for us. cc: @shoshanahjacobs.bsky.social

Yes If We Want The True North Strong and Free!

Canadian sovereignty requires a strong North, thriving communities, and economies

He nails it.

Sho: Look! An arctic hare. Me: Where? [pulls out camera and starts recording] Sho: Under the telephone pole. By the house. By the house with the lights. Me: [me, pointing the camera in all the wrong directions] Ya…I can’t see shit. cc: @shoshanahjacobs.bsky.social

This is how it’s done.

This POS is copying the felon in the US Poilievre will defund the CBC and expand government funding arrangements to include right-wing alternative media outlets. #cdnpoli #Canada #PoiLIEvreIsAPOS WAKE UP CANADA🚨‼️ pressprogress.ca/pierre-poili...

It's Nice To Be Disliked (By One Of Those)

Canada held a solidarity rally in support of Ukraine against the fascist Russian invasion and the unsurprising US betrayal. Scenes from Montreal. #3E #EndImpunity #EndOligarchy #StandWithUkraine

Travel agencies say some Canadians are boycotting U.S. travel #Canada #Boycott With looming U.S. tariffs, the surge of Canadian patriotism has extended to people’s travel choices www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Dear Faculty, There is an Executive-lead #HigherEd destruction playbook & you need to be vigilant. Suspensions first, then deletions. They will lie and obfuscate. They will tell committees different stories, present different angles. We need to organize. www.caut.ca/latest/2025/...

Protests happen when they happen, if you can only show up on certain days show up on those days, if no protest is available on your dates then organize one, open your own spaces. Protests need to be daily, but not everyone is expected to show up daily. Do what you can when you can. Just show up.

The neighbour to the south that Canadians have known our entire lives is on life support. I can't begin to express how sad it is to witness this.

In #Guelph we've had a week of #snow with lots of shovelling. It's not just the people who need to dig out! Here's mama #fox 🦊 digging out the #DairyBushFoxDen from one of last week's dumps!

Apropos of nothing, I get some of my best sleep in the north.

I don't know what to tell higher education. You can't both be "committed to democracy and intellectual freedom" and bending to the whims of authoritarians to "preemptively avoid fall out." At that point, you're just selling a mission you have no intention or capability of delivering on.

Underfunding #HigherEd is Undermining #Ontario www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

It's time to just stop doing more #HigherEd

Community-engaged research is about telling stories that matter 🧪 www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLJw... With @drdanielgillis.bsky.social in Iqaluktuuttiaq

All hail lichens! A cool video

I support this move. Goodbye Florida, hello Moon Pie Town.

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 EVERY American should go to ssa.gov and DOWNLOAD your social security statement. You may need to create an online account if you don't have one. You need to have a record of what you paid in and are owed in case that somehow “disappears” or is altered. I just did mine.

Vote Ford out 🤬

The European Union is preparing to announce a historic €700 billion aid package for Ukraine. The project was top secret but "accidently let out" after the US visit to EU. This is unprecedented in scale and declaws Trump & Putin's plot to force Ukraine to surrender to plunder it for its resources.🧵

Springer Nature (who charges $2,600 to $12,300 USD for Open Access articles) is conducting a survey to know "how easy" authors have found it to fund OA fees. As a reward for participating in the survey (and to show how much they care) they generously offer authors a small chance to win... $100.

“We are not at war yet. But we are certainly no longer at peace."

So what are we calling the government of the USA now? The Government of the Democratic People’s Republic of America? His Orange Felonius’ Royal Government? The Government of the Holy Republic of Covfefe? Something else?

It’s day 8 of the 2,000 Push-Up challenge. I’ve completed around 800 push-ups so far and have raised $300. If you can afford to, please help me hit my goal of $1000 for the @cmhanationalacsm.bsky.social. Donate here: www.thepushupchallenge.ca/fundraisers/dangillis/the-push-up-challenge

After 5-ish days of snowing and shoveling, #Winter in #Guelph is absolutely beautiful! Apparently today is ANOTHER #SnowDay Good thing our #ODR now has snowbanks to keep the puck in! @rinkmaster.com ❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️⛸️🏒❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️

Utterly remarkable. On Countrystride.co.uk episode #106 we discovered and discussed the remarkble qualities of lichen in the Borrowdale Atlantic Rainforest in the Lake District with Cumbria Lichens & Bryophytes expert Pete Martin. They represent the first colonisers on planet Earth be amazed.

An Arctic lichen walk in Iqaluktuuttiaq. This trip is all about connecting with Community to learn, dream, and understand our common purpose. Lichens are inspiration: change is the norm 🧪 #Lichen #StudentsOnSTEAM #HigherEd with @drdanielgillis.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6vj...

Wondering why Dr @shoshanahjacobs.bsky.social & I are 220km north of the Arctic Circle? You might assume it’s for epic views like this, but really we’re here to plan the next iteration of #StudentsOnSTEAM!

Um, no. Not the 51st state. Not now. Not ever. Fuck off, thank you very much. How about you take our name our of your mouths, and focus on fixing the shit that's wrong with your own effing country instead of politely discussing the perks of ignoring the sovereignty of another nation? FOTYVM
