While there is a lot of debate over exactly what academic freedom entails, I think we can universally state that this crosses the line!
I expected larger net gains and losses between provinces than was reported. Interesting!
You have to wait for the footage from the Athletes village! 😉
This is exactly right. The Onion quietly left Twitter a month ago and... our weekly subscribers went up. It's because we're doing well here, on Instagram and on YouTube.
As a business, being on Twitter is somewhere between useless or detrimental, unless you're selling boner pills.
Tech show tonight for Legally Blonde with Powerhouse Theatre! Dress rehearsal tomorrow, and opening night Friday! If you’re anywhere near Vernon … come and see the show!! powerhousetheatre.net/shows/legall...
The Dow was at 43,488 when Trump took office. It just hit 50,000.
So if you had invested $43,488 in the US, you would now have $50,000. But if you had invested the same amount in the rest of the world, you would now be worth $60,000.

5. I fixed a White House chart.
This line graph illustrates the percentage change in agency staff levels from the previous year for nine major U.S. federal scientific and health organizations between the fiscal years 2016 and 2025. The agencies tracked include the CDC, Department of Energy, EPA, FDA, NASA, NIH, NIST, NOAA, and NSF. For the majority of the timeline between 2016 and 2023, the agencies show relatively stable fluctuations, generally staying within a range of +5% to -5% change per year. However, there is a dramatic and uniform plummet starting in the 2024–25 period. Every agency depicted shows a sharp downward trajectory, with staffing losses ranging from approximately -15% to over -25%. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) shows the most significant decline, dropping to roughly -26%, while the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) shows the least severe but still substantial drop at approximately -15%.
This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

It is sometimes enticing to ignore the news given the crazy sh*t happening daily (in the US in particular) but I encourage you to take the time to listen to Canadian PM Mark Carney’s speech at the World Economic Forum today. It is both sobering and inspiring. www.youtube.com/live/dE981Z_...

While goalie development is always crazy to predict, the five prospects in the pipeline are all having good to great years! That’s exciting!! #oilers #letsgooilers @oilersnation.bsky.social
Jonsson (age - 22, ECHL - 6-3-2 record, 2.50GAA, .897%, 3 SO, named ECHL All-star); Day (age - 20, ECHL - 10-5-4 record, 2.56GAA, .894%, 2 SO); Salonen (age - 20, LIIGA Finland - 9-5-2 record, 2.55GAA, .877%, 2 SO), and Vinni (age 20, MESTIS - Finnish 2nd div, 8-5-4 record, 2.99GAA, .884%, 1 SO)
Went down the rabbit hole of #Oilers depth in goal, and was surprised how intriguing the pipeline is! Not counting Jarry, Ingram, Pickard, & Tomkins (the veterans in NHL and AHL), the Oilers have Ungar (age -24, AHL - 5-0 record, 1.38GAA, .937%, 1 SO; ECHL - 5-1-4 record, ~1.50GAA, and .944%) …
Congrats! You’ll fit this podcast perfectly!

Blackwood (or even Wedgewood) should be on Team Canada. Bouchard and Chychrun should be there on D, and Scheifele deserves to be there too! #teamcanadal
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has stated that the 1918 flu pandemic was caused by a lab virus from vaccine research, a defective influenza vaccine. Let’s analyze what a lie this is. First, in 1918, 107 years ago, virology was in its infancy
Graphic with a blue background and large white text reading “DEAR AMERICAN FRIENDS.” Below is a screenshot of a post explaining that Canada does not have CBS, that a “60 Minutes” episode aired normally in Canada, and stating that Canadian networks are not subject to U.S. government interference. The post ends with “We’re not under a dictatorship. You are.”
This message hits hard.
Rob Reiner: “Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people."
Would’ve been nice to also give a short plug to the Vernon Community Band, who is also doing a Christmas concert at the Powerhouse Theatre tonight (Saturday) at 7pm. The VCB is lots of fun and has been playing music in Vernon for 45 years! www.vernoncommunityband.ca
My list would include many already mentioned but haven’t seen these two yet (though I could be wrong).
A list of the names of the December 6, 1989 victims of the shootings at Ecole Polytechnique.
I remember how much my high school was rocked by the tragic shootings at Ecole Polytechnique. Never forget! Never accept this kind of violence in Canada!
Thank you Troy Stetcher for being a warrior for the #Oilers over the past few seasons! Best wishes on the #Leafs! Stetcher was a versatile and reliable depth defenseman, which all teams need and will be missed! Let’s go Regula and Emberson! It’s your time now!
Susannah McGowan, with colleagues Julio and Aranza, from Georgetown at the #Gardner25 symposium in Chicago.
Finishing off the day at #Gardner25 with a presentation by @susmcgowan.bsky.social and her colleagues at Georgetown, Julio and Aranza, on their work to support first gen students.
Addressing curricular complexity can reduce excess credit accumulation, lower time to completion rates, increase student persistance and increase graduation rates! #gardner25. www.chronicle.com/article/is-y...
As we kick off the first full day of the Gardner Institute Symposium, excited to be talking about curricular analytics and curricular complexity! #Gardner25
