This Fair Dealing week, we’re breaking down myths and facts about fair dealing. Just because educators have the right to use copyrighted works, doesn’t mean they are free to use any amount of the work. Fair dealing is a specific right in Canadian copyright law. Learn more at copyright.caut.ca

If you're keeping score, the NDP and Greens are implitctly committing about $1.5B/year to PSE student and institutions, the Tories between $150-200M/year (a bit unclear because some of their apprenticeship funding will go to unions), and the Liberals are offering negative $2-3 billion. Happy voting!

The Ottawa Charge game tonight was truly wild. Vanisova with the Gordie Howe hat trick? Tying goal with less than 7 seconds left in regulation? High energy OT? The PWHL is just so much fun to watch.

Is Canadians' belief that we are naturally superior hockey players - and that our hockey victories over other nations represent something about our national character - just a new post-Cold War iteration of the militia myth? (Aka, let's over intellectualize why this game seems to mean so much)

I am like... not particularly interested in a fun and light-hearted international hockey rivalry right now. I gave the last few games of the women's rivalry series a miss and the men's NHL-hosted four nation face-off is actively turning me off.
