Forgive the rant, but what the hell is this Administration doing?
Not gonna be easy to undo the damage, folks. But I’ve got some ideas on where to start.

Do we want Mark Carney-a world-renowned economist, former Bank of 🇨🇦 & Bank of 🏴 Governor, trusted by global leaders to steer economies through crisis?
Or Pierre Poilievre-a career politician who backed Brexit, claimed Canadians could “opt out” of inflation by buying Bitcoin.

This is Dorothy. She was pregnant with a single puppy and needed an emergency C-section. Tragically, her puppy didn't survive. The same day, five puppies were surrendered to her rescue, and she stepped up for them. Help us cover this loving mama's emergency care below ❤️🩹

Admirable, unflappable. Heard on CBC radio news that during his European trip Carney said he didn't mention sovereignty, as there's no need for another country to confirm that Canada is a sovereign nation.

The tarriffs and also the fact that trump said they didn’t need anything from Canada. Oh well, lol
The U.S. asked Finland, Denmark, Sweden and the Netherlands for eggs. They all said no. The U.S. was importing eggs from Canada but well, #tariffs, right? 🙄

"The amount we could export would not solve their egg shortage," says the head of the Finnish Poultry Association.

Trump's quest to conquer Canada is confusing everyone
Canadians and Republicans alike are confounded as President Donald Trump increasingly links a trade war to his push to annex America's northern neighbor.

BNN can be counted on to give airtime to idiotic O&G whiners, this time Rick Rule. Mark Carney, he says, is anti-O&G. The Conservatives hook their wagon to Trump, who is putting tariffs on our O&G, whereas two Liberal governments made pipelines to *other markets* possible. /2 #cdnpoli #abpoli

It’s a “disagreement”?! You’re threatening to take our country! That’s not a disagreement, that’s a threat!
“I want to rape you!”
“No!”
“We’re having a disagreement 🤷”
“No you’re threatening me and I’m getting a restraining order!”
Clear?

I'm guessing that many research institutions outside the U.S. will recruit talented scientists currently based in the U.S.
Is anyone aware of organized recruitment efforts? The only one I've seen was this one from a French university.
