It’s a beautiful evening in Ontario and there is still 2hrs 15 mins to vote… take a nice walk (if you’re able) to your polling station, vote, then feel good about doing your civic duty! (I did just that earlier today… voting matters!)🇨🇦🗳️

If you’re in line when the polls close, stay in line. You can still cast your ballot. Your vote matters.

This is terrifying.
Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.
Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.

They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

When you hide from the media, you’re hiding something bigger. Or you’re just a narcissistic coward.
Look south, Canada… we’ve seen this before.
Choose our leaders wisely.
Wow.

“Conservatives won't allow reporters to travel with Poilievre during the upcoming election.”

There’s no recent precedent for a major party barring reporters from accompanying a campaign.

Add this to refusing to apply for security clearance.

Are we supposed to believe he’s not hiding things?

I’m getting tired of American media framing Canadian anger at Trump’s irrational economic war on my country as “funny”, “odd”, and/or “cute”. (Yes, you, NYT The Daily).
We are serious, and we won’t back down. 🍁🇨🇦
(Please see Ukraine circa 2014. And Russia’s playbook since.)

Finance-type friends: is it really a “sell off” on the stock markets? Or just down a bit? What are your thoughts? (I am not well-versed in this area…)

#Academicsky, help me out? I’m putting together a quiz game about APA style for grad students (trying to make a dull subject less boring). What are some common APA errors you see?

I’m not sure the American media fully comprehends how Canada is reacting to the threats of tariffs and a takeover.
This is the biggest story for Canadians since the pandemic. Full stop.
It’s an economic war, and Canadians are ready to sacrifice to defend their country.

Locating to Canada is good business as we would retain free trade with all of EU and Mexico and American businesses would have tariffs on all these countries. Their citizens wont have money to spend anyways.

Nope, no connection whatsoever. Pure coincidence.

This astonishing display of bullying and harassment should give every Western world leader serious pause.

There is no negotiating. If you are summoned to the WH to “sign a deal,” you should expect to be berated and extorted.

SO glad we spent millions on an election in Ontario that left each party in EXACTLY the same position. 🙄 #onpoli

If you’re going to watch the returns, watch them on TVOntario’s The Agenda. Nobody knows Ontario politics like Steve Paikin and JM McGrath, IMO (and I’m not paid to post this!). #onpoli #ONelxn

I am looking up some research articles about literature circles.
scisummary.com makes this so much easier.

I was able to search for articles on the cite, gives me a table of articles to consider, then Im able to organize them and use AI to give me quick insights.

I voted, and so did my 18-yr-old son, for the first time. Ontarians, you still have 30 mins to get to the polls!

This Trump plan to economically cripple and eventually annex Canada seems like a page out of the Putin playbook… didn’t Russia start with trade restrictions for Ukraine before it eventually invaded that country? #canpoli

I was just thinking of this exact comparison… if the claims are true about Deep Seek, this development might be the 21st century equivalent of losing the space race (for the Americans).
Wonder if Trump’s tariff threats of 10% for China are about to go up…??🤔

Since announcing this, tiktok went down, came back, & blasted Trump propaganda 2x. The internet will be an even tougher place for science.

I have enough to fund ~5 of these projects. More than 5 should be funded. They're going to be v important.

Help us fund more if you can.

I feel like King Charles’ coronation was less pomp-and-circumstance than this Inauguration Day… I can’t remember inaugurations of previous presidents; are they all like this?? Also curious how much it cost to pull off this event… the marching band care-and-feeding alone must be astronomic.
