Happy Canada Day! 🇨🇦 🍁

Especially at a time when so much of the rest of the world is succumbing to nativist fascism.

Canada has a lot to improve, but going backwards isn’t the answer

I grew up by the ocean, but lived landlocked for a decade. Living near it again, I treasure how it feels to look across that great expanse and know how much life lives in and depends on it, including us.

This #WorldOceansDay 🌊 make the ocean a promise to live more mindfully about our impacts.

Today is Twilight Zone day!

But this year it also coincides with another Canadian holiday, so I present to you ‘Young Man’s Fancy’: a suitably themed episode with a story far too common (minus the ghosts generally)

It’s election day today 🇨🇦

This is the most consequential election of many of our lives, the question is truly existential

Make sure to get out and vote for a strong independent Canada 🍁

C’est nous qui décidons de ce qui s’y passe

Iron age trade, the resource curse, and verifying Pliny’s great complaint

Everything you could ever need from the economic history of trade

The Guardian/Observer’s years-long campaign to normalise transphobia on the centre-left is a large part of why the UK is where it is right now

They would never print similar articles about other minorities; but for trans people, solidarity is on hold

I’ve sent my vote off to Elections Canada

This is the most consequential election of my adult life, the issues are quite literally existential for our country

As chaos reigns in the world around us, all Canadians (at home and abroad) should make sure to vote and be heard
