Canada’s the only country having over 60% with a tertiary education.

This isn’t a numbers competition: it explains Canada’s values, “Education can promote gender equality, reduce child marriage, promote peace”

Education promotes decency.

‘Seems more personal’: Trump’s tariffs on Canada pushing away a crucial trade partner Canada, one of the U.S.’s largest trading partners, was not able to reach a deal with the White House, who instead raised tariffs on some Canadian goods. “Relationships matter,” says Former U.S. Ambas...

“Relationships matter, and maintaining and preserving those close relationships is an important part of what makes the United States an important country in the world. And when you blow up a relationship as important to that process as the U.S. Canada relationship, there are consequences.” #ElbowsUp

It’s way more than making an example of Canada.

He threatened to annex Canada by using economic force to steal our water and natural resources - that’s his plan.

There is no option but to stand up and not go the Chamberlain appeasement route.

Trump says Canada backing statehood for Palestine makes it ‘very hard’ to negotiate U.S. trade deal U.S. President Donald Trump says Canada backing statehood for Palestine makes it “very hard” for the United States to achieve a trade deal with its northern neighbour.

Did anyone think Trump was serious about an August 1 trade deal with Canada? He has relentlessly attacked our nation.
He hit us with harder tariffs than any other country.
He has continually threatened our sovereignty.
Canada needs to know this guy cannot be trusted.

Prime Minister Mark Carney announces that Canada will recognize the state of Palestine at the 80th Session of the United Nations General Assembly in September.

Carney says this move comes amid Israeli settlement building in the West Bank and its relentless war on Gaza.

I miss a world where I did not have to think about whether something I am reading is written by a human or not. How did we get here and why is this the new normal?

We currently have 3 Canada Excellence Research Chairs (CERCs) advertised at Queen's University: www.queensu.ca/vpr/cerc
One of them, the CERC in Artificial Intelligence and Exascale Computing, covers NeuroAI topics! Please feel free to reach out if you are interested in this.

When all of this is hopefully over one day, the rest of the world should never forget what the USA is doing right now to all of us for no reason. They are being led by a madman and nobody seems to invoke any kind of 'checks and balances' which they always talked about with such pride.

In-depth interview with PM Carney by Carney's hometown media, with details of the government's economic strategy. This stood out to me, among many things: "We have been the ones that have delayed good ideas for 10-15 years". That seems pretty fundamental: www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3Vs...
