Will be interesting to see who does and does not support this bill. Just the fact that such a bill becomes relevant is mind boggling.

This article by Charlie Angus is the clearest eyed I've read about the present situation in the US & Canada. Too many people remain in denial. I think that is why someone minimize Trump's threats to Canada as a mere distraction. We must fight the hope that it all goes away & act. It's too important.

Here's my latest reflection on a lesson I learned from a woman who was in the second tower on 9/11.
When the world is turned upside down taking action is the only way to survive.
Our democracy is under threat but politicians are still living in 2024.

Exactly. We love our American friends but are not putting up with the threats of the orange man, and also feel sorry for the destruction of your country. We stand with you!

LA JOURNÉE DE LA BILLETTERIE

Et si on lançait une nouvelle tradition?
Si le 12 août, on achète un livre québécois.
Et bien, le 12 FÉVRIER, on achèterait un billet pour une pièce de théâtre ou un spectacle à venir. (Un billet de cinéma ça compte aussi si c'est pour un film québécois)

Who should you nominate as reviewers for your manuscript? After a long chat with a post-grad it appears that there's a lot of misguided advice out there. Thread 👇
