Just got invited to an anti-Trump, #never51 rally in downtown Montreal. A huge pro-Canada rally in the historically ambivalent-at-best-toward-Canada provinceβ€”we’re really riled up.

This Photo of Mark Carney and Tom Hanks on β€œEpstein Island” is Going Viral. The Photo is CompletelyΒ Fake. Fake photos insinuating Canada’s new prime minister is linked to crimes of sexual abuse are going viral on Elon Musk’s X

The AI-generated anti-Carney campaign is in full swing. Don’t believe everything you seeβ€”even videos can be faked. pressprogress.ca/this-photo-o...

Last week I was in Mexico, and showed everyone there this photo from my front door in Montreal. Judging by their reactions, no one in Mexico is eager to take over Canada. πŸ₯Ά

It’s in the syllabus… damn, so it is. You’ve probably seen many variations on the β€œit’s in the syllabus!!” joke, but sometimes, we instructors need to remember what’s in the syllabus, too. I’m teaching a new course this winter, and I’v…
