He's doing this so he can say I told you so after Labour get hammered at the next election.

“.. four months after its establishment, the board’s financial fund set up by the World Bank has received no money from donors, according to four people familiar with the matter. ‘Zero dollars have been deposited,’ one said.” @financialtimes.com www.ft.com/content/5ba3...

Big news! @Sandela and I are raising money to hire a journalist to investigate the extent to which pro-Israel narratives are influencing Canadian media, and what the impact of that influence is on coverage. Chip in a few bucks! Help us hire somone! chuffed.org/project/1823...

This confirms what we all new. There remain questions. Will the trend bottom out soon? What are the legacy effects of past hires reaching retirement age in the next decade or so? And, of course, the role of contractual hiring?

Jervis Forum Roundtable 17-39 on Walker, States-in-Waiting On 14 August 2025, a range of student, church, religious, and other organizations representing the Naga community in India celebrated the 78th anniversary of the Naga state’s declaration of independence on 15 August 1947. The date passed…

Three years ago we started a new ERC-funded project called REAL, with three teams of brilliant researchers. Here are ten exciting papers involving my team that we've published so far, so you can see what we've been up to. And there's much more to come... stay tuned! 🧵

"As plank after plank of Canada’s climate strategy is dismantled, more and more of those climate-anxious voters are feeling a major case of buyer’s remorse, disoriented by the dissonance between who they thought they were supporting and a climate plan that is now a complete shambles." #CDNpoli

Le Département d’histoire du Collège militaire royal du Canada (CMR) lance une invitation spéciale pour la soumission d’articles et la suggestion de groupes de spécialistes pour son prochain symposium, qui aura lieu les 24 et 25 septembre 2026 au campus du CMR, à Kingston. Détails ici:

Oh FFS. Really! Can't we leave this type of things to Americans.

Yo Beaverton! Stay in your lane. How are readers supposed to separate satire from investigative journalism when you keep publishing hard truths?!

Elle a bien raison. Les colons c'étaient nos ancêtres, Français, puis Brits; deux couches. Et seules compteraient les deux langues que nous avons déclarées officielles, rien d'autre ne ferait jamais le poids ? Le colonialisme, c’est maintenant www.lapresse.ca/dialogue/chr...

In a world where defense financing is deeply embedded in financial markets, peace does not simply reduce risk; it disrupts revenue.

A Harvard study just published estimates Elon Musk's destruction of USAID has already caused 600,000 deaths 2/3 of them children. That is his legacy in this world.

. @florianlouis.bsky.social propose quotidiennement une revue des livres à paraître indispensable. Il est temps d’annoncer que le 20 août nous publions ensemble avec une soixantaine de collègues cet opus de 1400 pages aux PUF !

About time...

Okay, the British Labour Party is doomed if this is even a conceivable option. www.newstatesman.com/politics/wes...

Mental health is part of your health. It should be part of our publicly-funded healthcare system. What do we think is worth spending money on in this country? Why does this government have billions available for major projects and for bullets and bombs but not for projects that benefit all of us?

I dont know, maybe ask an historian...for example, William Mulligan whose _The Fraying Bonds of Peace_ is just out and is excellent on the dynamics between eco interdependence and power politics before 1914. Does trade cause peace? Ask an economist - www.ft.com/content/d141... via @FT

This is simply a subsidy to people who can already affotd to buy a house.

Les marxistes ont envahis les ondes de Radio-Canada... Plamandon is pathetic. Worse still, if he hecomes Quebec premier he's going to spend all his time battling "wokes" rather than doing anything remotely helpful to people.

One of the most interesting academic journals, containing a wealth of articles on communism, has been fully digitised. Highly recommended!

When I was in Korea, and rewatching DS9, it seemed like a perfect analogy for Japanese annexation/colonization/brutalization of Korea in the 19th and 20th centuries. The brilliance of the series is how versatile an analogy it is.

Salut BlueSky ! Je suis actuellement en recherche d'emploi : histoire, patrimoine, médiatisation, interprétation, enseignement. Je suis aussi tout à fait ouvert à des contrats de rédaction et de recherche. J'écris bien, je parle bien. Toute aide est la bienvenue. Hésitez pas à me contacter !

Désolé de me reposter moi-même mais il y a UN parti au Québec qui parle des enjeux qui touchent les citoyens et c'est QS. Pourtant les médias font à peu près comme s'il n'existait pas. Lâcher les politiciens qui déchirent leur chemise pour des non-enjeux et parler nous des solutions de QS.

There are currently 6 permanent full time history jobs in the whole UK. 500+ PhDs being produced a year - not all of whom will want to pursue an academic year but likely most, and of course years will stack up onto each other. What a sector.

It's obvious that the US admin is a personalist regime in which immediate decisions depend on Trump's volatile whims and on his sycophantic minions trying to keep up. But what happens after Trump? How do you undo something that has been years and even decades in the making?

And it just goes on and on....

I truly despise the CAQ but widening inequality is not it's doing alone -- as the stats for the ROC (and elsewhere) indicate. What's depressing is that neither the PQ nor the PLQ want to do anything to try to reverse the trend; more likely the reverse.

Every Middle Easterner who knows anything is going to be warning the world that you cannot trust Israel while we get ignored while Israel triggers another war and fucks it all up again. Understand this if nothing else: Israeli politics needs war. That’s how they resolve tensions between them.

Impossible to disagree with a single word that Ben Rhodes (Obama era NSC official) is saying here:

Steht jetzt schon auf der Leseliste:

This is sad news. My Dad ran for the Ontario NDP once when he was leader.

Quelle excellente nouvelle! Bravo aux Courageuses! Leur nom est très mérité

L'écoles privée (que les enfants de Ricardo ont probablement fréquentées) n'est pas en décrépitude. Notre médiocrité collective n'est qu'à l'égard des écoles publiques. Nous finançons collectivement un réseau pour permettre à ceux qui en ont les moyens d'alléger leur facture. Débile.

Seeing the pictures posted of No Kings rallies in U.S. cities kinda works to restore my hope that all is not lost.

"The only option for the long-term survival of the NDP is option 3 — a radical departure from the status quo… The changes need to be radical… & anything less than that won’t work" A colonized mindset is a difficult one to break but we must decolonize & shed the neoliberal Can-Euro/Can-USian models.

WTF? If Ben Shapiro is your friend, you're truly lost.

This is a fantastic article
