Another proof point for my fellow Canadians that we cannot trust the US even if the democrats sweep the midterms. A US Senator cozying up to Smith during a referendum on Canadian sovereignty speaks volumes. I use to like Schiff, but fu @adamsciff.com.

We definitely need to ensure that there is some sort of alignment between academics, publishers & universities on what is acceptable #genAI use - at present we have a mess of policies which tend towards something like "just tell how you use it". 7/

My conclusion from the #4s2026 roundtable is that we need to think about ways to stem the coming tide of submission that #genAI is driving. 1st to protect ourselves against burnout (as editors especially but also reviewers) & 2nd to protect knowledge production. 5/

Trump II absolutely is a generational national trauma and it makes perfect sense that the (increasingly small) group of people who love everything Trump is doing can't see it that way.

Bloor and St. George this morning some old white lady was laying on the horn as the two drivers in front of her declined to run over pedestrians in the crosswalk, so she could speed by. She then gunned it up the road after wiggling around the second car. The problem is drivers.

Honestly, fuck off with this revisionist history. Trudeau and Guilbeault didn't cause the world price of oil to crash in 2014. They did nothing to "shut in" Alberta's resources. Trudeau offered help to Alberta in 2015 when Harper didn't. www.readtheline.ca/p/jim-dinnin...

So, when the Trudeau–Guilbeault government took a wrecking ball to Canada’s resource economy, Albertans didn’t stay quiet. We sounded the alarm because we knew exactly what was at stake: jobs, investment, competitiveness, and the prosperity of Canadian families. While allied nations were asking Canada to help secure their energy needs, Ottawa was tying Alberta’s hands behind its back. And when capital fled the country, Albertans were stunned by the complacency elsewhere. The math wasn’t complicated: if Alberta is forced to shrink, Canada will shrink with it.
