How many of us in Higher Ed have been having this conversation over and over in the last couple of years?
Too many.
Too many.
An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

I'm back! (At least for now!)
Did you miss me?
Did you even notice I was gone??
Don't answer that.

Dear Journalists,
You seriously don’t have to always be like, “2 + 2, said by some experts in math to equal four.” You can just say the thing. It doesn’t make you biased. Really. It’s okay.

We urgently need honesty on the climate crisis.
Military emissions are excluded from national emissions figures. Yes, we simply pretend they don't exist.
That means there's little pressure to reduce them.
This has to change.

I suspect the same is true in Canada: we’ve developed cities under a “drive until you qualify” housing market, starved public transit, enacted zoning/planning that makes it harder to build affordable moderate density; forced car ownership is part of the problem.

Americans can’t afford their cars any more and Wall Street is worried
In a country where public transport is scant outside major cities, car loans are one of the last things that Americans will let themselves default on.

Backlash has undercut the success of 30km/hour speed limits. New research finds that a less controversial policy can be more effective in slowing cars.
