I’ve spent much of my life hanging out with ppl who need a community of support. Programs like these are essential for them & their families. If the #NovaScotia gov’t is in such fiscal trouble that they must do this, they should step aside for a party with better fiscal skills & solutions. #cdnpoli
So says the modern day Prince John…. #cdnpoli
I agree with you. Your response points to the problem with historical analogy. Your note below gets at my anxiety. The PM’s words in Davos aligned with my experience of business pragmatism, which tends to bypass rules (“red tape”) in favour of expediency, often causing unnecessary damage. #cdnpoli
We elected a Chamberlain, when the world needs a Churchill. When he said the “rules-based international order” was dead, he meant it. www.cbc.ca/news/politic... #cdnpoli
Middle powers taking the moral path & living up to the values that make the world a safe & just place. I had hoped after #Davos that this was #Canada’s path. #cdnpoli
It’s a big 1-7-9 for Alexander Graham Bell today, & the 150th anniversary of the #telephone on Saturday, so Matt & I talked about Bell’s legacy in #swont & the #TelephoneCity for this week’s #HiddenHistory. www.cbc.ca/listen/live-... #cdnhist
Wow. I had some time to explore this exhibition after an event tonight. Dara Vandor has put together a really thought provoking art installation @westernulibs.bsky.social with a lot of #cancon #cdnhist references. It is worth checking out if you are in #ldnont. www.daravandor.com/pax-american...

I took some time this evening to check it out. “The Anne America Needs.” We’re not in Cavendish anymore…
There’s at least one more book for you in this: “From Green Gables to Cape Cod: The abandoning of Myrtle Webb & the birth of Anne of Nantucket” … ;)

It is a dark world you are depicting. We also have to remember that Carney did not need to give any comments. Canada’s strongest moments have been when we articulated the importance of the rules based order. This is a very slippery slope.
I don’t see it that way, especially after recent statements. It also doesn’t align with several pivotal moments where Canada has made a clear decision to stand up for the international rules-based order. I agree that the pragmatics create contradiction, but a middle path involves consistency
But by that token, nothing needed to be said at all. If a rules based international order is important, we need leaders to stand up for it. Most aren’t & it enables this type of behaviour.
Agreed. I will admit that I think smaller campuses, especially affiliated universities, have more at risk (but I work at one, so might feel that differently). The slightly more complicated argument with larger programs (not institutions) is the need for graduate students, which has also been gutted
Small #universities matter now more than ever. They provide a model for teaching & learning that resists the convenience of #AI & they are also cost effective. In #Ontario, however, systematic underfunding puts these universities at risk. lfpress.com/opinion/colu... #onpoli #cdnpoli #cdnpse
I don’t disagree with what you have written after the first sentence, but I also don’t see how that makes the op-ed a false equivalency or hypocritical (though, again, I can see where Liberal policies in the 1990s fit the latter definition).
Llyod Axworthy is spot on here about Canada’s response to today’s events between the US, Israel, & Iran. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont... #cdnpoli
Re-upping this b/c it is #RareDiseaseDay & I would like you to learn something about #FDMAS. We learned the hard way about the particular difficulties of #RareDisease. It is important for the public to know that there are significant road blocks that only #PublicPolicy can solve. #cdnpoli #onpoli
Just finished Part One of @robgmacfarlane.bsky.social “Is A River Alive?” & thinking of this week’s designation of #ldnont as Canada’s Forest Capital. The #DeshkanZiibi is such an intricate part of the #ForestCity. Macfarlane beautifully complicates the idea of giving nature the rights of personhood
This is something I didn’t know. Oral HRT/MHT has a higher risk of blood clots & strokes but government drug plans don’t cover patches or gels. In a special live audience (MIS)Treated, we talk about the multibillion market of menopause and how those going through it have trouble accessing care.
On the blog we share an open letter from the board of the Nova Scotia Women's History Society re. the decision of the NS government to close 12 of 28 provincial museum sites:
This is how #NormalPeople behave. The fact that it might seem unique demonstrates the rot that has so deeply tainted the corporate mindset.
We talked about the #BlackHistory of #Hockey in #swont for this week’s #CBCLondon #HiddenHistory. Take a listen here: www.cbc.ca/listen/live-... #cdnhist
100%. #ResearchEthics matter but a lot of the process, and often the feedback, is unnecessary, especially around oral history.

4/4 - One of the really interesting things about #FDMAS is that it appears evenly around world, though in a random way. For syndromes like this, #OpenBorders & #GlobalMobility matters, especially for researchers & patients. We need to build a global community that supports the free flow of knowledge

3/4 - Because #FDMAS is a #RareDisease, treatment is costly. We have had to fight for insurance to cover a drug that costs $20k/year; we were denied coverage for another drug that is about $200k/year. Ideal treatment is hindered by cost. No thank you for our insurance company, who makes life harder.
Infographic about how no two patients are the same.
2/4 - First, we have a great medical team @lhsccanada.bsky.social & research team at the National Institutes of Health. As a mosaic disease, no two patients are alike, which can make treatment difficult. The level of care we receive is exceptional. Many thanks to the doctors, nurses, & staff!

Do you know about #fibrousdysplasia or #McCuneAlbrightsyndrome? I didn’t until relatively recently. #FDMAS is a rare genetic syndrome. As a #RareDisease there are few good treatment options & they are very expensive. For #FDMASGlobalAwarenessWeek I want to share my family’s experience with it - 1/4
I completely agree. The language of austerity is also problematic. Imagine a world where we focused on excellence rather than saving a buck. It still means change might come, but the goal is something more meaningful than just “saving” money.
