Good column.

Overdue, and filled with conclusions a lot of people arrived at many, many months ago, but hey, credit where it's due.

I went back to Firefox. Somethings it does very well, others, not so much. So I use it as my main browser and Chrome for other specialized taks.

I was camping in southern Alberta that weekend. Knew nothing about the eruption. On the Monday, we drove through Waterton Lakes National Park, and the air was so full of ash I couldn't even see the mountains across the lake. Had no idea what had happened until we got back to Lethbridge that evening.

Certain partisans have been citing Canada's performance on per capita GDP as evidence of a supposed 'lost decade' and economic mismanagement. In @irpp.org's Policy Options, I deconstruct this arbitrary and misleading statistic, in two parts. #cdnecon #cdnpoli. /2

That is the point. You could paint a cantaloupe blue and it would win here. Won't even have to show up for any debates.

I live in Alberta. About all you can do is put up a sign and hope it doesn't get stolen.

Very much worth a watch if you have not yet seen the PM’s brief and moving speech to Americans and Canadians.

Government research always had its ups and downs associated with politics. But I don't think I have ever seen anything like what the US research community is going through. But anyway - enjoy retirement and keep in touch, please.

If enough angry scientists join up to walk across the country to protest in DC, we'll call it a My Grant caravan.

Pet owners accidentally poisoning garden birds.
Our latest research finds pet flea treatments (fipronil and imidacloprid) in 100% of blue tit and great tit nests, with nestling mortality higher in the more contaminated nest. @SongBirdSBS @SussexUni @CannelleTassin

Trouble is - no one will know because of silencing of the relevant public health agencies. For the life of my, I cannot understand how public health became so demonized.

Very well done. Beautiful photos.
