“Many Americans don’t take Trump’s threats to Canada seriously — or seriously enough — and dismiss them with the same exhausted shrug that too many of Trump’s words inspire…. In Canada, he doesn’t sound like a troll. He sounds like a threat.”

I hereby create a community of people who love, respect, and admire boglands. They are mysterious, beautiful, and powerful to ecology, archaeology and climate. Yet these systems continue to be misunderstood and threatened. Who wants to join my bog fan club? Please share - bogs need friends right now

To all my American friends: We Canadians are well aware that there is only one person to blame for the trade war against our country - the Felon In Chief. We will fight because that is what we do, but our anger is not against you. Our bond will endure. 🇨🇦🫶🇺🇸

Donald Trump is back in the White House, but who is really pulling the strings? www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QI6...

So, back out of the Paris accord, exacerbating CC and then come get what you need from 🇨🇦. It has been the plan all along. Climate change is fuelling Trump’s desire to tap into Canada’s water and Arctic resources theconversation.com/climate-chan...

I normally don't clout-beg but in this instance I'm going to make an exception. Could you share this, please? I'd like to get Elon's companies entirely out of Canada. bsky.app/profile/carl...

#RPVSky Reading is writing: To situate your work within the broader literature, you need to READ buff.ly/4i4oHaF Sometimes we feel like we don't have the time to read. But it is a necessary, an unavoidable part and element of the writing process and of a writing practice.

There are many issues with preprints, but one of the biggest is when they are seen as credible before being peer-reviewed. This is potentially very dangerous. A 🧵 🧪 #SciPub #AcademicSky
