This book "assails the hegemonic narrative — or ‘hegemonologue’ — that settlers have imposed to overwrite, and thus erase, non-Western ways of knowing and understanding the natural world." Great interview with @mcgillqueensup.bsky.social author, Liam Midzain-Gobin. thetyee.ca/Culture/2025...

"I hate it here!" "I'm moving!" "There's no hope!" Lots of Albertans are feeding the very toxicity they're fed up with right now. There are better ways to channel your frustration. 10, in fact. open.substack.com/pub/drjaredw...

So delighted our book Knowledge, Power and Migration: Contesting the North/South Divide, co-edited by @mireillepaquet.bsky.social, @tungohan.bsky.social and me, made the Top 100 Books of 2025 in The Hill Times! Thanks to @eandreweditor.bsky.social www.hilltimes.com/story/2025/1...

Beautiful review of this @mcgillqueensup.bsky.social book in the @winnipegfreepress.com: "A powerful provocation for those living in times when western democracies normalize troops in the streets, the disappearance of those most vulnerable and a state founded on hate, fear and unfettered nihilism."

The @hilltimes.com Best 100 Books of 2025 has just gone live. Thrilled to see the excellent representation of @mcgillqueensup.bsky.social authors -- just shy of 20%! Have a project in Canadian politics you'd like to discuss? You know where to go. 😉

Delighted to receive my copy of Framing the First World War, a great collection edited by @draefox.bsky.social @mpmfinch.bsky.social and @dmorganowen.bsky.social who have put together a broad range of original essays

I chipped in to the @PressProgress.ca legal defence so journalists can keep holding the powerful to account. This case could set a chilling precedent across Canada. If you can, please donate and share. pressprogress.ca/journalism-defence/donate

Recent photo I took. Note: the bicycles trying to swerve around the @tps.ca car in the bike lane. Note: the car’s emergency lights aren’t on, so this doesn’t qualify for one. Imperilling lives.

Top of the day, from my local rep cinema!

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

Opinion piece @theglobeandmail.com with Laura Madokoro @carleton.ca The Trump administration’s suggestions for a privileged form of asylum for white and politically aligned refugees is not new – it is a throwback, and one that undermines decades of progress. www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

Tommy Prince is known as the most decorated First Nations veteran of the Second World War and the Korean War. Now people are celebrating his life days ahead of the military acknowledging its racism and discrimination against Indigenous soldiers.

Words are my life raft, but today they are pretty flimsy. Go well, Tim. Your first book was mine, too, as a scholarly editor. I marvel to witness all you accomplished.

It sounds crazy but I promise you: if you just put your phone aside and read for half an hour each night before bed, it will change your life.

Happy to report that 'In the Land of the Lacandón' is being used in classrooms this fall. We think this can be a great tool for instructors and had that in mind when we put it together. I've already gotten emails from very engaged and excited students! 🗃️🏺 #skystorians #academicsky

Signing a copy of his book for my son with all the time in the world, as though there weren’t a lineup of hundreds waiting. RIP, Ken Dryden. 💔

The “problem” with vaccines? They so effective at preventing deaths that they create generations of people that question whether disease was a problem in the first place because they have never experienced the horrors of a world without vaccines.

Darlings, a reminder: an editorial assistant will, in her first six months on the job, work on more books than you will publish in your lifetime. If she warns you that an image won’t reproduce well, or that [whatever] will cause delays, or that [thing] often ends up looking silly: believe her.
