So many thoughts.

A screen shot from a survey that asks participants to select one of four possible answers. The question reads "Please indicate with of the three agencies' mandates your research/area of expertise principally aligns with. Answers include Canadian Institutes of Health Research, Natural Science and Engineering Research Council, Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council, and None of the Above. Only one option can be selected.

Dear NFRF team - this question runs counter to the idea of interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary work. I shouldn't be forced to pick one agency. I should be allowed to pick all that apply.

American friends, do know many Canadian universities will still accept applications for fall entry? I'm Dean of an excellent College of Arts at a beautiful university in a small very safe city. And we're not far from the US border.

History will not and should not be kind to the people making these decisions.

Trans lives matter.

Happy Canada Day all y’all.

My family immigrated.
I support First Nations, Inuit, Métis peoples’ rights.
I stand on guard for all freedoms.
I provide gender-affirming care.
I support reproductive choice.
I’ve paddled lakes and oceans, hiked tundra, mountains, forests, prairies, protect nature.

I am Canadian.
