My personal belief system is that truth (and kindness) will always win out, but man, it's been bleak lately. Great column by Derek reminding us that the truth matters.

It was only a matter of time before US citizens were being killed for no reason. What has that country become?

My long time colleague, Prof. Phil A. W. Dean passed away at the end of Dec. He was a gentleman, outstanding colleague, and superb educator. He was also a loving husband, dad, grandad and great grandad! Sympathies to his wife of 60+ yrs Midge and his family. www.tributearchive.com/obituaries/4...

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?

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."

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...

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
