Or "Respectable".

List of countries with the best reputation, showing change between 2024 and 2025.

According to this ranking, Canada’s reputation has improved since 2024. We are now the 2nd most reputable country in the world.

The United States has dropped from 30th to 48th in that same year, the biggest drop of any nation BY FAR. Its reputation-peers are now Kuwait, Algeria, Kazakhstan…

We are at the point where Danielle Smith would rather violate charter rights and create a constitutional crisis…

Instead of paying teachers fairly and giving kids the classrooms they need.

Read that again.

Because this is where we are.

Well, it's just a pronoun, isn't it ? 🤷🏾‍♀️ /s

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”

RFK Jr.’s Dangerous Rewriting of the COVID Pandemic The health secretary had some whoppers during his hearing last week—but one in particular caught our eye.

“There is a nearly fourfold difference between the rate of COVID deaths in the best-performing U.S. state and the worst-performing U.S. states. And the biggest difference was vaccination.”

This Labour Day, I'm especially thankful for our entire @aasua.bsky.social negotiating team, who are entering into formal mediation this Thursday.

Students will have so many questions as the 2025-2026 academic year begins... 😥

Courage & solidarity !

The 'Mozart of Math' rarely speaks about politics. The wide-ranging cuts to science funding made him change that. UCLA's Terence Tao called the Trump administration's actions an "existential threat" to academic research in the U.S.

"Tao is one of the most prominent mathematicians and academics to publicly oppose the administration’s actions, calling them an “existential threat” to his field, and academic science, more broadly. He said public advocacy is a priority over his research, for now."

For anyone still saying that a Canadian like me should “mind my own business,” there’s literally nothing that’s more my business — more EVERYONE’s business — than the most powerful nation in the world right next door turning itself into a lawless, fact-less, corrupt dictatorship.

Nothing. #ElbowsUp
