- Why would any soccer fan risk traveling to the USA for the World Cup and be "interviewed" and have their social media checked by the same organization that kills its own citizens in cold blood? #boycottWorldCup until it is safe again.
- Mark Carney speech at Davos: sensible, intelligent, decent and realistic. Canada leading the world in these crazy times.
- Time for Canada and Mexico to abandon the Trump World Cup. We can wait. #Learnfrom1936
- It is clearly time to #boycott the World Cup. Send a message.
- www.nytimes.com/2025/12/09/t... For the World Cup: giant fan zones in Canadian cities to give soccer fans a North American experience without the risk of being detained! Come on: invite the Tartan Army and everyone else to Canada instead.

- In #CapeBreton this week for #CelticColours? Don't miss Waters Flowing Together in Iona with music, theatre, #oceantech and Western and Indigenous perspectives on the #ocean and #coasts, especially the Bras d'Or Lake Biosphere Region. Open to all, symposium registration at tinyurl.com/4yv28dat
- Also great way for Canada to increase defense spending: send our mosquitos to Finland.
- @dalfaculty.bsky.social @timbousquet.bsky.social Can we find out: a) who at Dalhousie hired these consultants? b) how much Dalhousie is paying them? c) what have been their recommendations to senior management and Dal board? Just to clear the air a little.
- The reputational risk to #Dalhousie University from its misguided and ill-considered lockout of Faculty is massive. A glance at the Board makeup, mainly corporate types, makes me worry they may have no idea what makes a successful University, what Faculty do, and why.
- Convenient for Republicans to say "don't politicise tragedy". But this article from April about experienced #NWS early warning manager from San Antonio, #Texas forced into early retirement by #chainsaw cuts to #NOAA demands accountability in the face of the #flood tragedy. tinyurl.com/yyhxveef
- Donald Two Dolls.
- A recording that will put a smile on the face of all #Canadians and maybe make Maritimers shed a nostalgic tear or two. So excellent from start to finish
- This makes sense. #corruption and #racketeering, pure and simple.
- In these days of doom and gloom why not resurrect some classic Atlantic Canadian political humour: youtu.be/XsQhSF3t_E8?...
- Reposted by Doug WallaceWe polled Nature readers to ask if they were thinking of leaving the US for jobs abroad. Three-quarters of them (who said they were US-based scientists) said yes. 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/d41...
- Has everyone forgotten their basic biology? Whales, contrary to sharks and fish, eat carbon in the ocean, metabolise it to move and stay warm, and then pump it into the atmosphere. The carbon goes the wrong way!! Whales are really great but not for reducing atmospheric CO2😂🧪

- Shocking and illegal.
- Nice story from Brent Else of the University of Calgary showing how flexible #oceantech can support #oceanscience from Navy patrol boats. #meopar #mori 🧪 www.ctvnews.ca/calgary/vide...
- Looking around the world today it is more clear than ever that the word "humane" is an oxymoron.
