If Doug Ford is serious about doing more than cosplaying Captain Canada, he'll reinvest in Ontario's post-secondary system, to support the world-class research we're already conducting and to give a home to the soon-to-be displaced US-based academics.
We'll see.

My dear friend @sameervasta.bsky.social is a gifted writer & storyteller. Here, he speaks for many of us who've had similar experiences. I find, in talking to friends my age, that many of us are feeling the same way. We care less about money & responsibility& more about doing something with meaning.

The media called Musk's salute, which Neo Nazis celebrated, a "hand gesture."
Why won't they acknowledge exactly what we all saw here?

My ask—stay aware. Take time later to learn what unfolds in DC. I saw a post on IG from Bernice King that I thought was perfect, and sharing a bit here. Take a moment…
