Glad that there is some respect, courtesy and wit on his site as opposed to the nastiness and ad hominem posts one see elsewhere on social media.

@revishvili.bsky.social I have been hearing stories of Russia loosing this war for at least two years now. I hope one day they will be true.

Actually I found it pretty clear and her points well made and convincing. I for one didn’t realize that Sinon was not a character in the Homer’s Odyssey and I had just read it. Sometimes experts in one thing are really good at their one thing.

I long for the principled, farsighted and impactful foreign policy of the previous liberal leader!

No doubt you are correct but likewise some faculty members are using it carefully and finding that if it is used properly it can be a useful tool replacing older evaluation methods Some will try and ignore it others will embrace it, probably along disciplinary lines.

Thanks. My reading of the evidence is that it is producing more nuanced results. I don’t envy those who need to navigate it as a pedagogical tool but if you use it carefully so that it does not replace cognitive activity it can be useful. Some faculty will fight it others will embrace it.

What's the name of that syndrome where a guy who's not an expert in any field, late in life starts talking about stuff they know nothing about and they end up making a total ass of themself?

This is something that might be true but saying it is happening without any evidence sounds like something that makes people distrust academics. Is there no possible case to be made. As your colleges in economics might say. “Solve for the equilibrium”.

The problem is that he is a bit of a loose cannon, has a wildly over inflated sense of his gifts and has not demonstrated that he would be a good leader. But he seems like a perfect Liberal in his sense of entitlement.

Is there a gas shortage in Canada? There is rising prices related to world price but the price is rising in Canada not because of shortages in Canada. But I get the drift of your comments at a higher level.

This Tyler Cowen guy. He might not be your cup of tea but he is a serious scholar.

He is joking, right! I thought the job off elected officials in the US was to line their pockets. Am I wrong?

I would fully expect a Democratic Party president to behave similarly now that the cat is out of the bag. They will do it in a less crude way but with the same results. The tariffs are not leaving with a new government

I am assuming he is using communist to describe Norway Denmark etc as opposed to Cuba but not sure he has thought about the distinctions between the two. Or cares

How come Bluesky is so boring. It seems like it is an app for people trying to give up social media.

I am not sure budget size and person years are synonymous with good foreign policy.

I did not understand a single thing anyone said in this thread. Is that a problem.

His reaction to being left out of cabinet proves Carney is a good judge of character

Could you put the play that these are drawn from so I can figure out the context. Act and scene would also be helpful.

They love to shoot themselves in the foot. There is no need to do this other than Trudeau’s ego must be satisfied

When was the last time Canada had a Royal Commission?
