St. George’s for good measure.

I renewed my passport yesterday at the coolest Service Canada!

The Kingston Custom House was built by architects Hopkins, Lawford, and Nelson from 1856 to 1859. It’s a wonderful piece of neoclassical architecture that complements nearby St. George’s Cathedral where Lord Sydenham is buried.

I just discovered that he supervised Jane Errington as well. Such massive influence, and nice to know that I learned from him through your guidance.

That would be wonderful.

By the way, I’m so happy to hear about HIST 1P95. It sounds like a fantastic course; I’d like to run something similar at Queen’s.

George Rawlyk, also born in Niagara, died on the same day I was born 🫨

Alberta First Nations issue cease and desist order against Danielle Smith's attempt to create a national unity crisis. Alberta is on treaty lands.
Those treaties were signed 30 years before Alberta became a province.

It's really hard to overstate how hugely favored conservatives were up until two months ago.

Here's the graph of Canadian polling between March 2023 and March 2025. (Reminder: blue is conservative.)

Thanks Eamonn!

Thank you! Much appreciated.

I’m pleased to say that I’ve been awarded a month-long research fellowship at the Clements Library, University of Michigan. The Clements has the most expansive War of 1812 collection outside of Canada; I couldn’t be more stoked for this opportunity.

Spotted somewhere between Kingston and Toronto this weekend. So damning.

Louis St. Laurent's lifespan overlaps with the lifespans of every Canadian Prime Minister to date, from John A. Macdonald to Mark Carney.

Les Allemands étaient chez moi
Ils me dirent, "résigne toi"
Mais je n'ai pas peur
J'ai repris mon âme

Of course it’s a suburb filled with single-family homes

Really? I had no idea. I’ve always thought about them as left of LPC. This is definitely just my own ignorance of Quebec politics though.

I believe he thought that he was holding her 2020 album “how i’m feeling now”

BREAKING: Prime Minister Mark Carney confirmed Charli XCX fan:

We need proportional representation in Canada so badly. Trudeau could have gone down in history for enacting it, but he intentionally fumbled this issue to serve his party's interest. Parliament with more NDP, Green, & BQ rep would be fantastic; I fear us becoming a two-party state like US.

The way he says “it’s magic, eh?” sounds performative lol

Just a thought: we could use them to smuggle auto parts between the US and Canada…

How have we not raised the remains of these ships and put them in the Great Lakes Museum? They’re not graveyards… I suppose there’s just no interest or will… make me MP for Kingston and this will be my project 🫡

Milo arguing that email job is making white men depressed and that they’ll be so much happier working in a factory

Same cultural framework a century ago led thousands of young men to volunteer to get gassed on the Somme

Remember the reason behind the season (greed, tax cuts for billionaires)

Tolkien would be SPIRALLING in his grave knowing there’s a company out there, Palantir, facilitating war, surveillance, and American imperialism under the name of an artifact from his legendarium
