Last time I checked, the “GO” in @GOtransit was an acronym for Government of Ontario. Ottawa is in Ontario. Is it wrong to ask why this GO bus in Waterloo today is flashing #GoLeafsGo in English & French but not #GoSensGo as well? @SensCentral @Senators

I’ve studied & written about #climatechange migration for 20 years, time to step aside. In what’s likely my final journal article on the topic, I summarize what researchers know & don’t know about climate & displacement. It’s open access. epress.lib.uts.edu.au/journa…

I agree, lots of small actions add up to big changes.

Two students & I reviewed every #IPCC report since 1990, identified, summarized how migration/displacement were assessed. Resulting 33p report too massive for a journal article available free, open access here here: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.…

Have been reading about crazy price of #eggs in USA. In Canada we have supply management system that ensures farms = well managed, not disrupted by bird flu, producers get fair income, consumers pay fair prices. Today’s price for 12 large eggs at my local store = C$3.93/US$2.75

Of all the academic papers I’ve participated in, this one published in latest issue of #GreatPlainsResearch may be my favourite, even if no one ever reads/cites it. “How Drought Helped #JimmyCarter (Nearly) Win South Dakota in 1976”. muse.jhu.edu/pub/17/article/… @UNLGreatPlains

There’s a little magic in the RinkWatch stick tape we give to loyal participants. Goalie Alex M posted a shutout in last night’s old timers game in Kitchener.
