The level of stupidly in the US leadership now is off the charts.

June 30. The end of 30 years @westernu.ca as a professor of chemistry. Tomorrow I start my 31st….

Wow. The US really had gone all handmaids tale so quickly. Doesn’t anyone want to fight it?

To think I was one electron away from fame :) I remember the theory group asking if I could grow a crystal pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Yay! J. Chem. Educ. paper out on removing DCM from teaching labs! It was a delight to work with Dr. Vosburg and his students, especially because I graduated from Mudd, which is where David teaches now (he started the year after I graduated so we didn't overlap). pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

The lowdown on MAGA's ambassador to Canada. This guy is bad news. There is a reason Trump put him on the Canada file. charlieangus.substack.com/p/trumps-mag...

Iceland is stunning- awesome adventure vacation with the family.

Travelling in Europe reminds me how shitty hotel breakfasts are in Canada. So easy to do….love a European breakfast.

Non-elected “leader” says what? Why doesn’t he wait to see how a financial leader handles things before criticizing?

The answer to the question can America ever be bought? #dictatortrump

Removing the arts is how civilization collapses. RIP America.

My ethics wouldn’t allow me to do this. Hell, ethics shouldn’t allow anyone to do this.

The journalist in Poilievre’s viral "apple" video feels "a substantial degree of satisfaction that Pierre Poilievre lost." "Canadians saw through his three-word grade-school rhyming, and his toxicity and bullying nature which points more to a tearing down, not a unifying of our country."

#WesternU celebrates outstanding educators across campus who are committed to inspiring, engaging and supporting students. 🎉🏆Congratulations to the 2024-25 recipients of the Western Awards for Excellence in Teaching.

This is my type of #orgo

Radical Trump style messaging and policy and leader- thats the problem, not the tariff messaging www.hilltimes.com/story/2025/0...

If this sounds MAGA and RFK Jr ish…. You’re right. Vaccines protect everyone, especially the most vulnerable. #neverpoilievre

Thanks for @laura-babcock.bsky.social taking up this issue. I write about Poilievre's plan to suspend laws protecting the rights of people before the courts. He boasts he will target universities and deport students. This is the MAGA/FASCIST playbook. charlieangus.substack.com/p/book-burne...

🧵We have seen the GOP and Trump undermine election integrity. But did you know Pierre Poilievre sponsored one of the most controversial electoral reform bills in Canadian history in 2014, the "Fair Elections Act"? 160 scholars in Canada warned about the damage the Act would cause. #cdnpoli #ElbowsUp

Has anyone done a Venn diagram of these ICE agents and membership in the American Nazi Party?

This is despicable. ICE is out of control.

Real leaders worry about real problems. Those woth no vision focus on other things…. Well like plastic straws FFs #neverpoilievre www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Early polls for our Canadian election are open. I have never seen lines like this at our polling station. Canadians are fired up. #elbowsup

CAUT advises no non-essential travel to the US. #unbeliveable

Another exhibit of why the current Conservative leadership is not capable to lead a nation. The most ridiculous poll of priorities, including questions like this, #neverpoilievre

This should scare the crap out of everyone. Following the “new” US playbook. In Canadian election, top Conservative candidate vows to end ‘woke ideology’ in science funding | Science | AAAS www.science.org/content/arti...

Dr. Cohen brings the receipts for PP anti Vax populist politics

Pierre Poilievre doesn’t talk about men’s biological clocks, sperm counts, or prostate health—because that would be invasive and absurd. So why is it acceptable for him to comment on women’s reproductive timelines? It’s not policy. It’s not leadership. It’s misogyny. #NeverPoiLIEvre

@liisagalea.bsky.social and Catharine Winstanley By Attacking Science, Poilievre Takes a Page from Trump’s Playbook apple.news/AkcoPYT4IQb2...

Imagine not being able to change the mind of a leader when presenting them with facts, sound arguments and expertise that they don’t have. This sounds more like you know who (look south) than a reasonable, intelligent person making decisions that effects millions. Never vote Poilievre.

The Elections Canada site explains the voting options. You have a variety of options including mail. Note the deadlines and requirements. Turnout can decide elections. It takes a real vote to make a difference. So make a difference. #cdnpoli #canpoli www.elections.ca/content2.asp...

'Pushed to define the term in 2023, Poilievre had said it has “plenty of pretexts but only one purpose: control.” ' No. Control is when you don't have equity considerations, because the default is a minority. www.montrealgazette.com/news/canada/... www.montrealgazette.com/news/canada/...

We all saw the "freedom" truck convoy occupy Ottawa for weeks. We all saw the support from MAGA in the US, US flags being waved, F Trudeau flags, and anti-vaccine slogans. But never forget what we also saw, the official Opposition leader lending his full support. #cdnpoli #canpoli #poilievre

And the President in this crisis? Golfing. F you America.

Absolutely. But if you're MAGA stay home.

www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... Let’s not forget which federal party and leader were supporting these “mischief makers”. #neverpoilievre #notocanadianmaga

In other words “I’d surrender”

If you are worried about disinformation and media manipulation in this election give a pass to @ctvnews-rss.bsky.social They caved to pressure from Pierre Poiievre's online posse in their continual harassment of @rachelgilmore.bsky.social. She is a truth teller. pressprogress.ca/ctv-cancelle...

#boycottctv why would facts be important to a news organization?

Where have we heard this before? Resist fascist governments. Don’t vote conservative.

Most of Western chemistry thesis students participated at the 53rd SOUSCC hosted by Guelph chemistry. Always impressed with these young scientists!

Danielle Smith is on the Quisling 2025 tour with Ben Shapiro. He calls us a "silly little country that can be annexed like Puerto Rico." He says Canadians would welcome Trump like a "liberator." She is doing a fantastic job of sinking Poilievre's campaign. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/03/27/n...
