Evolution of the Age Profile of Canadian Professoriate, 2000 to the present. Number of profs over 65 is up from roughly 800 in 2000 to around 6000 today.

CUSMA-compliant goods exempt from Trump's latest tariff threat on Canada | CBC News U.S. President Donald Trump’s latest threat of a 35 per cent tariff on imports from Canada will not apply to goods that comply with the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement, a Trump administration official to...

My understanding is a lot of the goods not covered by USMCA are because of origin rules. Often apparel/textiles, cosmetics, tobacco, and some food products. But this doesn’t seem like a big part of Canada’s exports. Decent overview www.cbc.ca/news/busines... but from way back in July !

On the domestic side I’m curious why the proportion moved up at all over the years

Interesting that the gains in international proportions diminished between the 2014 and 2018 groups relative to 2010-2014 groups. This coincides with the largest growth for international students but does that suggest fewer proportionally stayed? Doesn’t line up with expectation

Hadn’t heard of this one but I’m inclined to agree that there will be myriad more use cases in the future. Will be interesting to watch the field develop.

4/ For instance, what if you added something about "social mobility" or "people like me can't get ahead"? How would the results change?

Imagine if our politicians panicked about people not being able to get ahead and not about "affordability".

Nice looking hockey stick curve eh?

you mean $500 for a one way from Edmonton to Vancouver isn’t a bargain?

I think part of the issue here is many are getting better at exploratory analysis (identifying patterns etc) but not always at explanatory analysis (communicate or justify findings, leading more directly to decision support). Most data people are more natural at former and have to practice latter.

Yeah I guess that’s it. Interesting to note the silence of the provincial orgs on this too.

I haven’t seen anything from organizations like Universities Canada or CICan either. I would have thought they’d be a voice if individuals weren’t.

You may remember the Ford Govt from such policy triumphs as "Mass Slaughter in Long-term Care Facilities" and "Housing? What's That?". Now it wants to remove universities' right to select their own students. Biggest assault on uni autonomy in Canadian history.

Agreed. But getting two people to have a conversation on predictive modelling is real challenging…

Florida Board of Governors rejects Santa Ono as University of Florida president The selection of the former UM president faced backlash from GOP leaders over his handling of pro-Palestine encampments and his past support of DEI.

University of Florida has rejected Santa Ono's confirmation as president in a 10-6 vote.

I’ll be real curious to see how they plan to intentionally attract top talent given their record.

It will be interesting to compare our outcomes 5 years from now compared with other jurisdictions also actively cutting international enrollment such as Australia, the UK, and the US.

How we respond to ensure domestic and international students still have opportunities will heavily influence our prosperity in the decades ahead.

International tuition revenue kept challenges out of sight out of mind for years, but the Marc Miller era of hard cuts and poor communication have combined to make a major challenge for postsecondary in Canada.

Helpful analysis from @alexusherhesa.bsky.social on how government spending priorities have kept funding to post secondary trending down for years.

Curious about this too. Haven’t found a good resource. Global seems easy nationally but not locally

Most of mine have a full section devoted to how long it will take to pay off if you only make the minimum. Hard to miss.

Japanese strawberries are amazing though. Better deal to go to u Pick where you pay by how long you’re there and can eat as many as your body can take.

I keep seeing the * Trudeau bumper stickers and wondering if they'll become collectors items now :P

Mine does this too. I find it odd but have grown accustomed to it.

If you pretend to be young enough you can also get your meal served in a toy Shinkansen or Doctor Yellow. My eldest still talks about visiting Shin Osaka

Mark Carney's new cabinet will shuffle environment minister, remove immigration minister: sources — Toronto Star Steven Guilbeault to leave the environment file, Marc Miller is out of cabinet entirely and Mélanie Joly will keep her foreign affairs post.

BREAKING. For my CDN HE colleagues - we've become uncomfortably acquainted with Marc Miller as immigration minister, and seen weekly changes to INTL education. Things are changing again.

Of course, also an election in the air, and all could change again after that.

Definitely the way to travel. And so quiet inside.

Huh! Never seen the Samoa. Learned something new today. Well that and a better way to explain decision trees.

Real question is if you bought the mint cookies or the good ones

Assuming you mean Hakone not Hakodate. We spent time in Hakone after our wedding and it was delightful. Relaxing, mountainous, beautiful.

Some other ideas:
- Atami: relaxing, popular.
Kamakura: history (especially kotoku-in and Hase temple)
- Ryogoku: sumo (tokyo)
- Kawagoe: small old city
