I think with economics so much of our thinking is sort of counterintuitive that it makes it easy to question anything and everything

Nearly half of Americans voted for Trump. Not taking direction from there thanks.

US also has a very different set of expectations for the job. Research institutions at the top and basically teaching only at the bottom. Some difference here but everywhere expects research.

Certainly for the under 40s. Rise of the 65 plus group is ending mandatory retirement.

Except that's largely illegal in Canada

Similar to their strategy around carbon pricing

Don't they always anyway? At least until tee time.

Of course in Canada Universities are a Provincial government responsibility not Federal.

One of two Canucks in the stick logo era to hit 38 goals. Doesn't look like the other will make this list

Thanks for posting this since I can't be there this year

Been there, done that, too many times. Proud of you for stepping up.

At this point I don't think we can discount the possibility that these "mishaps" are cover for Trump selling these planes on the black market.

And here I thought I was hard done by with an increasingly useless knee that needs replacing and having to help care for a wife who's undergone major surgery. Did get all my marks done eventually though.

'Doris Day' petition hits the mark | CBC News

This reminds me of Stockwell Day's stupid promise to hold a referendum on any topic as long as it was supported by a petition signed by three per cent of Canadian voters, which then prompted Rick Mercer to start one that would require Stockwell to change his first name to Doris. Hit the mark easily.

Tried this of course. Got us up to 5th after 50 or so tries. Otherwise no movement at all. Interesting though that the four teams just above us jump up into top5 five relatively often.
