I am HERE for that plot twist!

Danielle Smith uses notwithstanding clause to declare herself premier of B.C. Prime Minister Mark Carney disagrees with the concept of a premier of one province unilaterally taking over a different province but his hands are tied by his unwillingness to do anything about it.

I might be ok

If patterns hold, the Alberta government will try it again in 2106 or so.

Figure out which part of the job gives you joy and lean into it.

Gonna have to update my 201 slides!

Ah. Thanks.

I am frustrated and enraged at the UCP and Danielle Smith, for using the most powerful constitutional hammer we have to vaporize human rights for children and their parents.

I am disgusted by these Conservative MLAs. Every single one of them has taken leave of their senses and their humanity.

🎶 It’s the most wonderful time…

Oh. Not those bells.

Thanks for this - we were just mulling this over at home and I was given instructions to go find you!

What’s up with Western Canada these days? Does ‘the West’ even exist? Next Wednesday…https://www.uregina.ca/events/2025/11/state-of-canada-series-where-is-the-west-in-canada-.html

If you have tenure at Texas A&M and aren't maliciously emailing the president a dozen times every day to ask if you can say this or you can say that, then what's the point in having tenure?

I’m here to help!

No plot twist!

Or every bit of student writing.

So many first years who hope that this email finds me and my family well!

Mine’s going in today!

A List of Things Said to Have Been Ruined by Women

Yeah, we did. We ruined it for misogynists and sexual predators and office lotharios and drunks and lazy loafers who had their secretaries and assistants do their actual work.

Canada Is About to Lose Its Status as Having Eliminated Measles

Alberta is calling!
"So far this year, Alberta has recorded nearly 2,000 cases...and the United States nearly 1,700.
Canada is set to be the first Western country since the coronavirus pandemic to lose its elimination status, according to W.H.O. data."

Kneecap to the PSE sector - TOTAL temporary resident target (TFWs plus international students) to be roughly halved, from 670K to 370K.

That's minimum a $2 Billion hit to the sector. Probably more. Will work this out later

So, which 3 opposition MPs will be swayed by joining Eurovision??

Pretty low probability. 60% of voters is a high threshold.

That was a wild read.

If a spoonful of sugar helps the sacrifices go down, then: thefudgery.com

I hope you get some relief soon.

It was a great conversation

Canadian academics, take note!

Applicant names, profiles, demographics
Reviewers names, profiles, comments, and scores

"The preemptive use of the notwithstanding clause cannot be allowed to normalize. Neither should the curtailment of legislative debate become routine...We cannot take the Rule of Law for granted; if we do, it may not be there to protect our rights when we most need it." #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli
