Start to cancel the F35 program that cost $70 billion to Canadians (for only 88 planes!!) and buy some Dassault Rafale: that s the hors d oeuvre #1. si si on peut le faire!
If Donald Trump slaps 25% tariffs on Canadian goods, we must hit back—dollar for dollar—starting with 100% tariffs on all Tesla vehicles and U.S. wine, beer, and spirits. We must protect Canadian workers and businesses. https://t.co/OX0nImM39w

In collaboration with startup company Scatr, #WesternU prof François Lagugné-Labarthet (@Lagugne) developed technology to check the composition of street drugs. The innovative tech is being piloted at safe consumption sites across the country.

Congrats TK Sham for your NanoOntario Award for lifetime achievements in Nanosciences ! publishing 670 papers in 40 ys is a milestone that 99.99% of us will not beat! Synchrotron Science rocks! Canadian Science too ! (even if we could do much better with $$$ at the right level)

I am increasingly forming the opinion that the grade inflation being seen at many elite universities, including at Yale, is another reflection of the way universities have become alienated from their core mission. The focus is on student experience rather than on student
I've experienced this shift as a prof. When I arrived in '03 I gave 25% A/A- (admittedly, a carry-over from my years at MIT). Just learned that in Gen Ed courses, the average is now 80%. I've spoken to several deans, who say they're concerned about this grade inflation, & I hope
