With the demise of the US CDC, what would happen if Canada insisted on vaccination certificates at the US border? Many countries require visitors to have Yellow Fever certificates for entry. How is this any different?

Let us know how many US applicants you get! At my uni ("a large R01 uni in Vancouver") we just had 73 app'ns for an ass't prof job. They included US ass't and ASSOC profs. No hope for stellar Cdn RAs with great pub's and bringing $$$ to the job! Yikes.

The no-longer-Librarian-Of-Congress, Carla Hayden, is GONE. Fired by Trump because she is a person of colour and female? Nah... ridiculous thought. Oh, also keen on literacy and the freedom to read. Oops! Best if US citizens can't read these days.

Unbelievable. Canadians are watching our dear friends south of 49th with incredulity. And yes, we are suffering economically from the orange clown, but we not being illegally arrested in our own country.

Whooping cough resurgence? Makes one wonder about diphtheria and tetanus... In the US, it's hard to know, RFK having fired 10,000 public health workers. Luckily, like measles, nothing that eye of newt and toe of frog can't fix.

Canada’s Role in a Shifting Global Order β€” with Mark Carney | Prof G Conversations
YouTube video by The Prof G Pod – Scott Galloway Canada’s Role in a Shifting Global Order β€” with Mark Carney | Prof G Conversations

This is a serious, 45 minute youtube podcast between a US prof and Mark Carney. It is the best description of his plans for Canada and the US-Canadian relationship that I've seen. It is worth your time. Especially if you are uncertain who to vote for.

Certainly tragic. And certainly completely uneducated, or should I say "mis-educated". THAT is the tragedy. We let parents make uninformed decisions about this. Hardly "consent". And THIS is on the head of Kennedy and his ilk.

So, despite our miserable Canadian dollar, I just paid $4.25 Canadian ($3.00 US) for a doz. But cheer up, chocolate eggs might be cheaper for you than real ones this year ?
