Avec l'annonce d'une augmentation des transfers aux universités, peut-être que l'Université d'Ottawa reviendra sur sa décision de faire de l'université la seule, parmi les 15 plus grandes universités canadiennes (U15), à ne pas avoir un service de garde sur le campus.

I have American family. They are rabidly anti-Trump. But even them don’t realize I think how this type of discourse will have a long-term negative influence on Canadians views and relationship with the US. Things won’t just get back to normal once he’s out of power.

If Bad Bunny can cover the history of Puerto Rico, colonialism, transatlantic slavery, hemispheric consciousness, as well as contemporary life and politics in under 14 minutes, you can do your 15- or 20-minute conference presentation with time to spare.

Ma chronique du mois pour ONFR (avec une pensée pour ma grand-mère Thérèse).

Comme Le monde d'hier de Stefan Zweig est mon livre préféré, je vous suggère fortement cette chronique de Josée Blanchette qui en cite plusieurs extraits.

1. A few thoughts on this Globe and Mail editorial. Over a decade ago, I interviewed a European senior civil servant on his country's approach to increasing the bureaucratic representation of ethnocultal minorities. He lost it on me, denouncing what he saw as the "unbearable smugness of Canadians".

Dans son ouvrage encensé par les nationalistes conservateurs, le Schisme identitaire, E-A Beauregard affirmait que le nationalisme écossais était trop « woke », et que les nationalistes québécois devaient s’inspirer du Brexit. Finalement, c’est le Wexit qui semble inspirer certains d’entre eux.

If you want to get more people frequenting downtown businesses maybe fix the nightmare that is Ottawa public transit. Between 7 and 10am this morning, 5 of 10 buses on my route were cancelled. I can’t rely on that at all. www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/art...

1. M. Carney needs better Quebec advisors. Here is what he said this week: “The Plains of Abraham mark a battlefield, and also the place where Canada began to make its founding choice of accommodation over assimilation, of partnership over domination, of building together over pulling apart.”

Jean Dorion était un grand Québécois pour qui le nationalisme et la défense du français pouvaient être conciliés avec l'ouverture au monde et une vision pluraliste de la nation. Au cours des dernières années, il a dénoncé courageusement certaines dérives du nationalisme québécois.

Ça sera de la musique aux oreilles de Mathieu Bock-Côté qui écrivait la chose suivante il y a quelques jours (Trump et nous, Journal de Montréal, 11 janvier).

To add one more layer to this. About 10 years ago my formidable former Globe and Mail colleague Renata D'Aliesio took on a mission to document suicide following the Afghanistan mission. In some initial reporting she found 54 Canadian soldiers and veterans had died from suicide. +

List includes buses 6 and 7, which are the two buses I can take to go work. And which explains why I decided to drive today. But hey, according to our mayor, all is good because we have the lowest property tax increase amongst large Canadian cities.

This is Ottawa city politics summarized to its core essence. A twenty-five year obsession, post-amalgamation, with "keeyping property tax increases low". Meanwhile, we have one of the most expensive (to user) and least reliable transit system in the country, as well as crumbling infrastructures.

Let the historical record note that the business elites at Davos repeatedly laughed during a fascist speech that declared intent to annex another country’s land, promoted election conspiracies and railed against the free press

1. A recent, nostalgy-infused trend on social media has been to post about #2016. For me, the best album of 2016 was Hopelessness by Anonhi, one of the best political albums of all time. It dealt with issues that are, sadly, still relevant today.

Un très bon bilan de la première année de la deuxième administration Trump de la collègue et amie @debthompsonphd.bsky.social

Une excellente chronique d’Alain. À lire!

La démission de François Legault en 2026 ressemble beaucoup à celle de Brian Mulroney en 1993. J'ai l'impression que l'impact risque d'être le même.

Doug Ford, le premier ministre de moins en moins « téflon » Lisez la chronique politique de Luc Turgeon, professeur à l’École d’études politiques de l’Université d’Ottawa.

Ça fait quand même longtemps que l'Est et le nord de Montréal sont mal servis en termes d'infrastructures.

Odd messaging from the government of Ontario. It apprently wants us to be organ donors, not to help women who need a transplant per se, but because their husbands can't survive without a wife to take care of them. Ad in today's @hilltimes.com, page 3.

Au cours des prochains mois, j'écrirai un chronique mensuelle pour @onfrtfo.bsky.social, principalement sur la politique ontarienne. Voici ma première contribution où je discute des enjeux à surveiller en 2026.

L'Ontario avec le deuxième taux de chômage le plus élevé au Canada/Ontario with the second highest unemployment rate in Canada.

🧵In my expert opinion as a researcher of vehicle ramming attacks, what has been publicly described in the video evidence does not support the claim that Renee Nicole Good was attempting a deliberate ramming attack when she was shot in Minneapolis on January 7, 2026. 1/7

Happy to share some recent research on the NDP and the working class (with @mattpolacko.bsky.social and @sjkiss.bsky.social) in the latest Perspectives magazine. perspectivesjournal.ca/changing-cla...

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn’t Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, or Alice In Chains. (Un Anglo, un Franco)

Santa came early this year and I just received my copy of City Politics in Canada, edited by Martin Horak, @jacklucas.bsky.social and @bigcitypolitics.bsky.social. I wrote the chapter on Ottawa (dedicated to the late Caroline Andrew).

The City of Ottawa is nearing the finish line on its new zoning bylaw. Did you know Ottawa's zoning is only two degrees from Kevin Bacon? 🧵...

Use of mental health medications in the population of Swedish PhD students is 40% higher than a matched sample by the fifth PhD year. Be kind to PhD students. Don't take up PhD students you can't invest in. Alert prospective students of the reality of a PhD. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

A miracle!!! A bilingual national anthem at a Leafs game. Merci Natalie Morris!

One would have thought that members of the Watson club would learn from their past mistakes (in the case of Tierney, mistakes include corruption charge). But here they are again doing the bidding of the mayor and blaming downtown councillors. Simply pathetic.

Venez travailler avec nous à l’École d’études de l’Université d’Ottawa/Come work with us at the School of Political studies at University of Ottawa!

The Globe and Mail has a very succinct but comprehensive editorial outlining the foolery of Lansdowne 2.0. Well worth the read. www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/416c9c5...

Sondage @pallasdata.bsky.social : « Si un référendum avait lieu sur la souveraineté du Québec, voteriez-vous pour ou contre la souveraineté du Québec ? » Ci-dessous : résultats selon les genres de septembre 2023 à novembre 2025. Analyse → lactualite.com/politique/le...

1. Two decades ago, a friend was a teaching assistant in a method course at UofT. A student came to see him because there was something wrong. Analysing the CES data, they found that Quebec was not more anti-immigration than other provinces. The student wanted to know where they had made a mistake.

Anglophones have becomes much more anti-immigrant than francophones. Quebec is now the least anti-immigrant province.

Great to see my old roommate Tom’s work being recognized!

Me in 2015: I will never go to Costco! It’s everything that is wrong with modern capitalism! Me in 2025: Proud of my Costco membership! This corporation is at the forefront of the fight against Trump! Want another $1,50 hot dog and pop kids?

Ottawa's transit is bad, with no plans on getting better. Ottawa's homelessness situation is bad, with no plans on getting better. Ottawa's governance structure impedes the development of the downtown core, with not plans on getting better. Ottawa keeps elected politicians with no visions.....
