“Many Americans don’t take Trump’s threats to Canada seriously — or seriously enough — and dismiss them with the same exhausted shrug that too many of Trump’s words inspire…. In Canada, he doesn’t sound like a troll. He sounds like a threat.”
What Canadians Heard—and Americans Didn’t
The Canadian federal election, on Monday, which culminated in Mark Carney’s retention of the Prime Ministership, was won by defying Trumpism.

I just love these ideas. Let's make this G-index work for academia!

Move beyond ‘publish or perish’ by measuring behaviours that benefit academia
A standardized system to measure contributions in mentorship, collaboration and more could bring about systemic change in science.

I hereby create a community of people who love, respect, and admire boglands. They are mysterious, beautiful, and powerful to ecology, archaeology and climate. Yet these systems continue to be misunderstood and threatened. Who wants to join my bog fan club? Please share - bogs need friends right now

Why annexing Canada would destroy the United States
Americans have already been defeated by insurgents all over the world. Invading Canada would be no exception.

To all my American friends: We Canadians are well aware that there is only one person to blame for the trade war against our country - the Felon In Chief. We will fight because that is what we do, but our anger is not against you. Our bond will endure. 🇨🇦🫶🇺🇸

Thanks! I needed this today!
While joy emanates from within, managing external influences is crucial for maintaining it. This doesn't mean turning a blind eye to global issues— it's about disconnecting regularly to reconnect with our inner selves. Joy is precious. Nurture it before time slips away.

I normally don't clout-beg but in this instance I'm going to make an exception.

Could you share this, please? I'd like to get Elon's companies entirely out of Canada.

I've just called my MP and MPP and asked them to cancel all dealings with Elon-owned companies. Ontario just bought $100 million worth of Starlink services to service the North and I want out province to have no dealings with this ... fine gentleman.

I ask all Canadians to do the same, please.
