PSA: it is in fact possible for universities to address financial challenges by slashing (incredibly expensive and largely useless) admin positions.

On 29th January 1996, "Threshold", the Star Trek: Voyager episode where Captain Janeway and Tom Paris turned into giant space newts and had babies first aired. Since it's #ThresholdDay we aim to answer a burning question: did Paris and Janeway fuck? If so, how did they fuck?

There is not a lot Canadians can do about ICE, but we can ask Parliament to investigate Canadian companies doing business with them, like Hootsuite. Call or email your MP - or contact the INDU House committee MPs. Will post link below. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art...
Hootsuite CEO says ICE contract will stand as long as agency honours terms and conditions

You'd think far right would love Stalinist infrastructure. Car centric, huge pedestrian-free multi-lane urban roads. Empty opulent ballooms. Grandiose deco state buildings. Words mean things. Places exist.
#AngryFactCheck Fifteen-minute cities aren’t Stalinist, aren’t sinister, and are most certainly not an attempt by the WEP to control and monitor our behaviour, you barrow-full of bellends. This is mainstreaming half-baked conspiracy theories, and I’m sick of patiently explaining this to people.

Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada didn't grow at all under Trudeau. At ~5000 staff, it's the same size today as in 2015. Carney is cutting 665 staff and shutting down research centres that have been around for decades. This isn't about cutting Trudeau-era "bloat". It's about cutting everything.
