Read the release: $162M over five years for 10,000 co-funded Mitacs placements. That's ~2,000 a year. In 2017 Ottawa funded Mitacs to reach 10,000 a year. A five-year total announced like it's a new annual number.

Today in my public finance class, two days before the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation: a treaty is a fiscal commitment. The 1850 Robinson Treaties promised annuities that rise if the land produces enough "without incurring loss." Frozen at $4 since 1875. Still being priced.

It’s a mistake to think there’s anything about this story that is unique to Cornell. One in five women is sexually assaulted at college. The majority of them experience institutional betrayal if they report. I would like to believe this story will change that, but I doubt it will.
Pam Keith@pamkeithdc.bsky.social · 4d agoCornell expelled students who were protesting genocide in Gaza, but made five of seven guys who gang raped a drugged girl for seven hours write essays. That tells you EVERYTHING you need to know about the morals of that institution.

Last summer, I spotted a roof rat three times in our backyard in Calgary. The Rat Control guy (who looked exactly like Adam Driver) took me seriously because I called it a roof rat that what we would have in BC urban areas. We never caught it and he assumed it likely hitched a ride from BC.
Alex Boyd@alexboyd.bsky.social · 6d agoOne of my favourite interview anecdotes from the last couple of years was the government person that pointed out that reported rat sightings in Alberta are (uniquely?) unreliable because so few people in Alberta can accurately identify one. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/s...
