Apparently the Carney govt didn't like the killer whale headlines it was getting. "Ottawa last month released two discussion papers which proposed, among other things, approving major projects before they’re reviewed & exempting certain projects from laws meant to protect species at risk" #CdnPoli

Alberta's referendum questions are "framed to divide us: to make neighbours into strangers, and strangers into threats," writes Jared Wesley. "We must reject this process and these questions." "What we need is a politics of dignity." #abpoli thetyee.ca/Opinion/2026...

Receiving these kinds of emails never gets old. I provide public goods to fellow academics, students and society in general largely because I strive to create a better, more humane and human academic environment.This is from a few years ago. To this day, I keep getting these emails. Really happy.

In honor of Raul Pacheco-Vega passing, you should go read everything he's posted. It's full of good advice on how to be an academic and writing strategies.

I was saddened to learn of the death of Raul Pacheco-Vega earlier this week. I’ve known Raul for a very long time. I’ve written something for my website. Read here: jovanevery.co.uk/in-memoriam-...

Lamento profundamente a partida do prof Raul Pacheco-Vega. Conhecia-o apenas via Twitter, mas sua generosidade ultrapassou fronteiras geográficas, acadêmicas e linguísticas. Aqui deixo o link do seu blog, sempre informativo. www.raulpacheco.org/blog/

I am grieving Raúl Pacheco-Vega. He and I interacted a lot. He was truly interdisciplinary, transnational, and exceptionally generous. He also was a light of inspiration as a fiercely gay and racialized man in academia, still an extremely bigoted space despite illusions Rest in power

I’m on the bus heading downtown for Mayor Fillmore’s state of the municipality address. There’s a lineup of cars on North Street heading downtown. Are these drivers heading to an event to hear about a speech on solving congestion?

What I find most egregious about the program costing the Houston government is forcing on Nova Scotia's universities is not any detail of the formula they're using. It's that the whole exercise treats universities as subsidiaries of a provincial training conglomerate. That's a mistake two ways 1/

Poor things. They are right up there on the most-persecuted list with wealthy movie stars, wealthy financiers, and wealthy consultants.

Agreed. It's not possible to reconcile "rule of law" with "one week the GOP SCOTUS will nullify a 43-year-old statute so they can allow racial gerrymandering, then the next week the GOP VA SC will block voter-approved redistricting and have themselves a laugh by citing the SCOTUS liberals' dissent."

More Houston govt bullshit. Honestly, we can't get rid of this govt soon enough. There is no earthly reason to deny Nova Scotians access to the new federal flood risk maps. Indeed, NS's denial places people at risk & prevents people from making informed choices. #novascotia #cdnpoli #timhouston

Absolutely begging people at this point to read The Deficit Myth by Stephanie Kelton. There are good videos on YouTube that explain #MMT as well. Dollars are not scarce for our federal government. Carney knows this. This is simply neoliberal ideology in action. #CdnPoli

The Conservative Nova Scotia Budget has led to Nova Scotia Community College cutting all of their campus librarian positions. Is this how you plan to build a future, Premier Houston? #nspoli www.instagram.com/reels/DYAkpz...

Here is the healthcare infusion link recruiting healthcare workers for #NovaScotia if you are interested in the move from another country? novascotiahealthcareinfusion.notion.site/Nova-Scotia-...

New report finds nearly 1 in 3 Nova Scotia workers in precarious jobs. Using a first-of-its-kind survey, this report reveals the lived experiences of those facing precarious work in Nova Scotia, with low wages, limited protection and job instability. About 43% are on the edge of precarity. #nspoli

I guess the scandals, the undemocratic moves, the favouring of separatists, & the impending destruction of public healthcare in #Alberta doesn't concern Albertans much, hence Smith's popularity. #cdnpoli #Canada www.cbc.ca/news/canada /calgary/janet-brown-poll-ucp-danielle-smith-road-ahead-9.7177527

Keep your 👀 on references to asset recycling. As I keep writing, do not ignore Mark Carney's past as an investment banker. It's influencing a lot. Economist Jim Stanford touches on it here. #CdnPoli

Leblanc’s answer: “The challenge is to get the Americans to a position where they want to make a deal that’s in the interest of both economies.”

Here’s what a option (3) mean: a Canada picks a base tariff on the US menu of demands (the lower the base tariff, the greater the removal [or non-imposition] of regulations and laws that the US doesn’t like). This last option is the worst one for the Canadian economy in the medium to long term.

Huge turnout for the #KidicalMassHFX Spring Social at the oval today. Lots of humans and a few raccones. It was really nice getting to see everyone. I think it's safe to say bike season has started

Why would ICE be allowed in Canada during the World Cup, armed or not (or at any other time)? It makes no sense. Are all countries sending their own immigration enforcement to Canada, too?

"Halifax should not be widening roads or co-funding highway upgrades with the province, but rather focus on reducing car trips and allocating more road space for transit and safe pedestrian and cycling routes." www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Halifax buses are not fit for purpose, and relying on them for anything with a time stamp is officially causing major anxiety in my daily life.
