Kanika's paper on investigating C-F and H-H frustrated Lewis pair reactivity with our strong secondary borane (HBMeoCb2) is accepted and online @InorgChem. Congratulations and thanks to the helpful reviewers! Check it out: https://t.co/qht2cbQE71

Carboranyl substituted boranes are attractive Lewis acids for frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) chemistry due to their tremendous bulk and high Lewis acidity. In FLP chemistry, secondary boranes are...

The ambident reactivity of the bis(gallylene) is demonstrated by the reactions with azobenzene and the triphosphirane (PMes)3, which give rise to a bis(spirocyle) and a 1,2-diphospha-3,4-digalletan...

The government is not saving $35–54 million a year. The government is cutting drug benefit spending by $35–54 million a year. Objectivity in the media is a myth. There is always bias.

Rob is right. Call an election and let Albertans decide. “It’s hypocritical and self-serving to suddenly decide that voter recall needs to be reined in.” #ableg

We are so desensitized by billions of dollars in scandal, policy that has nothing to do with campaign promises, disdain for professionals and experts, etc that some Albertans think it is "just politics". It is not. Not how it should be, by any metric. Recall them all.

Free speech, my ass. And how do you, Dave Nally and the UCP have access to our voting records?
@TheBreakdownAB Is this what you’re looking for Dave Nally? Here you go. This is my FB interaction with Josh Eberhart AFTER he announced his intention to RECALL YOU. We SUPPORT. We do not INITIATE.

Self explanatory chart. Under the UCP policies, you can only expect higher auto insurance when you renew your current insurance. Take this note.
Just renewed my #ICBC car insurance for a year, cost me all of $1477. That's $80 cheaper than last year, which was cheaper than the year before. Public auto insurance is a wonderful thing! Here's the 10-yr change in auto insurance costs by province from StatsCan. #bcpoli #cdnpoli

🚨 My new piece: increasingly, vaccine hesitancy tied to political identity https://t.co/xYHHQaiEe6 via @TorontoStar Vaccines are a wedge issue, exploited by politicians to garner votes, by political commentators to build brands and by online influencers to get clicks. cc

Study after study has shown that political affiliation is one of the single strongest predictors of vaccination status.

“A large majority of Canadians agree that the Conservatives should remove Pierre Poilievre as party leader.”
