Canada's largest ice cream company used to source its fruits and nuts from U.S. suppliers — some for over 30 YEARS. Then, Trump imposed a 25% tariff on Canadian products. So, what did Chapman's do? They called Italy. They called Spain. They signed multi-year contracts with European suppliers.
2025-26: the first year Canadian universities employed more tenured/TT professors over the age of 70 than under the age of 35.
Just read the stories and then vote. Natalie is amazing. ❤️

When a group of YMCA campers needed to be rescued during the wildfires on our northern border, it was Canada who immediately helped. Not a word from Trump.

Small suggestion: If you're organising a conference, or academic meeting, or well, anything really in the US in the next couple of years, why not consider doing it in Canada instead? 🇨🇦🍁
I hated the “do you know how bad you have to be to piss off the CANADIANS?!” memes because that wildly misunderstands us. But this one I know to be true in my bones.

The United States and Canada have been friends, partners, and allies for more than 150 years across 32 presidential administrations. And now, solely because of the arrogance, incompetence, and ego of the current occupant of the White House, that relationship is being driven straight toward a cliff.
The war is on. This is the test of our nation and our generation. We call on allies from around the world to show solidarity and boycott the USA. Buy nothing from the tyrant regime. Canadians - push your grocery store to support the boycott. @laura-babcock.bsky.social youtu.be/yuzXL3VhoMY?...

Prime Minister Carney went out of his way to negotiate a trade deal with gangsters. He held Team Canada together despite the constant insults from the MAGA gang. Canada will go more than the extra mile to find common ground, but we will never bow and kiss the gangster's ring. We hold the line.
That is how to do it. It may be a bitter pill to swallow in the short term but you can’t partner with bad faith actors.
Shop like your country depends on it, friends. Keep your money in Canada, for Canada. And keep the U.S. goods, services, and travel boycott strong, in solidarity with your fellow Canadians and American resisters ✊ Here’s Mark Carney’s statement, hot off the press. VIVE LE CANADA 🍁 #CdnPoli

Donald Trump signed an executive order this week that will require the MMR vaccine to be delivered in separate doses. US policies are making a resurgence of vaccine-preventable diseases inevitable www.bmj.com/content/394/...
In June 2023, I teamed up with the wonderful @enirenberg.bsky.social to write about RFK Jr's repulsive history of extreme, deadly anti-vaxx activities; we discussed his disgusting history in Samoa It's unconscionable that he now runs the US health system time.com/6289037/robe...
Robert F Kennedy Jr. Is Dead Wrong About Vaccines
There is no point in debating RFK Jr. on vaccines. He's wrong and has been proven so many times before

His activities in Samoa resulted in the deaths of many children. His responsibililty was certain & documented at the time.
