New book of economic history dropped, from my colleague @robertyee.bsky.social.

He shows how the Bank of England helped preserve the City of London as a financial center even during the rise of US hegemony, with lessons about how major economic powers can maintain their dominance.

Cover of Robert Yee's new book, The City's Defense: The Bank of England and the Remaking of Economic Governance 1914-1939. It shows a black and white city street with old timey-dressed men and horses and buggies in front of grand buildings.

Ontario has enough family doctors but NOT enough choosing comprehensive care

Alternatives like walk in clinics offer better pay & fewer hours.

BC evened that score
…& family doctors followed

Canada Healthwatch 🍁 @canadahealthwatch.ca · 1d

B.C. showed how to fix the family doctor crisis — but Ontario’s not listening www.thestar.com/opinion/cont... @drgorfinkel.bsky.social @thestar.com

More news → CanadaHealthwatch.ca 🍁

"The real issue is that a growing number of family physicians — now 1-in-5 — opt out of comprehensive general practice and pursue focused roles, like ER shifts or walk-in clinics," writes Dr. Iris Gorfinkel. "British Columbia has shown a way out."

My Inspector Ramirez series is set in Cuba, which has been devastated by Hurricane Melissa. I will donate $ 5 to the Canadian Network on Cuba (providing disaster assistance) for every Inspector Ramirez book purchased from reboundpress.com between now and Christmas Day.

Back in 2004 when we visited Madrid, my brother insisted we take the time to go and see Picasso's Guerncia. I understood it as an anti-fascist symbol at the time, but now I cannot stop looking at it.

In an ideal world, we'd say things like "no kid should have to study in a hot classroom." But in the world we live in, you have to justify everything with test scores so: "every 1 degree hotter a classroom is leads to a 1% loss in learning" billfrist.substack.com/p/when-class...

When Classrooms Get Hot: What We Learned Exploring the Hidden Link Between the Environment, Health, and Learning

As both a physician and a policymaker, I’ve spent much of my life asking one central question: How can we help every child reach their full potential?

Solidly researched.
Evidence based.
Incontrovertible.

"An astounding 90% of autistic children consumed either breast milk or formula...ignoring potential confounders, control groups and statistical significance."

Hats off to @integralanswers.bsky.social for the fine work.

Spot the difference:
Johnny: “My grandpa walked me to school because he is retarded.”
Inexperienced Teacher: “Johnny! That is a terrible thing to say! We don’t use words like that!”
Experienced Teacher: “Isn’t it wonderful that grandpa is RETIRED and has time to walk with you?” #Meaningmaking

Why is this just a day? When does it make sense to move on when students don’t have the foundations? This reminds me of people who talk about “covering the curriculum” and prioritize that over teaching kids.

“Ontario has been underfunding education systematically for years, while accusing school boards of failing to balance budgets. Real government funding per student fell by $1,500 per student between 2018 and 2024, resulting in 5,000 fewer educators.” #OntEd

We have schools in #OntEd with condemned ventilation systems, electrical issues, leaking rooftops, and crumbling walls. Parents of children with special needs are being asked to keep their kids home due to a lack of special education staff. Bill 33 does nothing to solve this.

Premier Doug Ford &
Education Minister Paul Calandra:
¡ Supervision isn't the solution - proper funding is!
