Nothing to see here—just Swedes dragging a whole wooden church across town. If the followers cannot come to you… build a moving service for God

My wife took this incredible night photo of the Percé Rock in Quebec while I was sleeping. Apparently only one of us is serious about sightseeing

I am beginning to suspect that BlueSky’s “Show less like this” button for cat videos is just decorative. I keep pressing it, yet my feed still looks like I accidentally joined Cats Unlimited

“I think it’s outrageous that you banned American products from your shelves. That is an insult to us. We have not done anything like that…”

Canadian travel to the U.S. plummets — but Americans are staying home, too | CBC News

It’s not just Canadians who are holding back on cross-border travel amid a U.S. trade war that has soured bilateral relations. The number of Americans coming to Canada is also dropping off.

For a political scientist and EU observer, there could hardly be a better time for a sabbatical in Copenhagen 🇪🇺 @eu2025dk.bsky.social

Jeg har et spørsmål angående basmatirisen jeg kjøpte i København i dag: Den danske bruksanvisningen anbefaler at risen skal koke i 10 minutter og trekke i 10. Den norske derimot, anbefaler 15 minutters koketid og 5 minutters trekketid.

Hva gjør en stakkars nordmann i Danmark med slike anbefalinger?

Trygve Ugland @tugland.bsky.social · Jun 26

Thanks, Michael!

Trygve Ugland @tugland.bsky.social · Jun 26

I am grateful to Bishop’s for supporting this sabbatical, and I want to sincerely thank all my students and colleagues for their collaboration—and patience—during my time as Chair. I wish Jacob Robbins-Kanter all the very best as he takes on the role.

I will be back at Bishop’s in January 2026.

Trygve Ugland @tugland.bsky.social · Jun 26

This is my final week as Chair of the Department of Politics and International Studies at Bishop’s University, as I will be starting a sabbatical leave on 1 July.

During the Fall of 2025, I will be based at the Department of Political Science at the University of Copenhagen as a guest researcher.

A special transatlantic partnership dating back to 1976, when the EU and Canada signed a Framework Agreement on Economic Co-operation, the first formal agreement of its kind between the EU and an industrialized third country 🇪🇺 🇨🇦

Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu · Jun 16

Dear Mark Carney, thank you for bringing us together in Canada.

It's good to be among trusted partners.

This week we strengthen G7 unity.

Next week we open a new era in our strategic partnership at our 🇪🇺🇨🇦 Summit.

With a major step on security and defence cooperation.

As a Norwegian, the news that Morten Harket has Parkinson’s hit me. He is, after all, our only truly international pop star

I usually stay away from social media comment sections—but today I looked, and saw only kindness, admiration and support

Morten Harket seems to have only friends. Well earned
