Trump tariffs could undermine Brexit deal in Northern Ireland “A former EU commissioner has questioned whether Trump thought through his plan’s effect on the peace process brokered by the US almost 30 years ago.” What makes anyone think that he *would* have thought this through??

Digital preservation is not keeping up with the growth of scholarly knowledge. Recognizing its causes is the first step to securing records everywhere for future generations.

#CSPC2023 panel on Fostering European partnerships site.pheedloop.com/event/CSPC2023… notes that in a study on international partnerships for Canadian SMEs, the most difficult part was finding the right partner (higher than supply chain, access to funding, or regulatory issues). Surprising.
