@brian_gettler A refreshing take on the conflict is Alan Taylor's The Civil War of 1812. "In this North American civil war, brother fought brother in a borderland of mixed peoples." #Cdnhist #AmericanHistory #Warof1812 #Canada

@brian_gettler In 1985 at the #McMaster #Chemistry Department, I was one of three inaugural recipients of Graduate Research Fellowships from the #Xerox Research Centre of Canada. The other two were Chemical Engineering PhD students, possibly in Alberta. My understanding was that this was to ‘experiment’ with university-industry graduate research partnerships that are still popular in the #UnitedStates. The Xerox program no longer exists, and neither does the XRCC itself. Sad.

I wish we had something like this in the US, but I can't see it happening. US readers LOVE books, libraries and bookstores. But except for a few famous standouts, they really don't give two shits about the people that write books. -

The Toronto Waterloo corridor was BIGGER than Silicon Valley EVEN before Wall Street fund managers ordered the tech monopolies to indiscriminately fire 250,000 coders, designers, artists and cybernauts.
Toronto Waterloo is Bigger than Silicon Valley.
You can move to Canada, if you have a job offer.
Hey maybe now is time to cement Canada as the telecommunications, aerospace, computing, AI capital of the world? Mr. Trudeau?

Other #underappreciated #professionals who keep the world running include #SocialWorkers, #secretaries, #nurses, and #PublicSchool #teachers.
(Now what do these all have in common, besides being #undervalued? Could it be that the front line jobs in these #professions are mostly staffed by #WOMEN ?)

Where's that meme about being a civic minded person being disappointed they just got the very short verison of the #census
J'ai pratiquement juste eu des questions de langues à la maison.. comme @brian_gettler a dit, important de bien représenter notre francophonie hors Québec

Until now I'd thought this meshy-handled #flosstodon was only for the Canadian market, thanks to posts from @brian_gettler and @mirijb2 :

"Unknowingly or not, Sesame Street’s creators aligned themselves with the ideas of Jane Jacobs, whose 1961 book The Death and Life of Great American Cities had become the bible for urbanists. Jacobs championed mixed-use, pedestrian-friendly neighborhoods over the bulldozing approach of planners like Robert Moses. She identified four conditions essential to vibrant city blocks—and Sesame Street embodies them all."

I have recommended this album on here more than once. It's a marvellous reproduction of 70s aesthetics and the sonic texture of telephone hold music of yore.

"Venezuela, my homeland, actually won something. I have never seen it happen; the last time Venezuela claimed a major international trophy was in 1945 and, of course, it was in baseball... our sport, the one we actually care about and that truly runs vinotinto red in the country's collective bloodstream... And it probably had to come against the US, the geopolitical bully that has idly shoved Venezuela around for generations"

This week's theme is songs that made you realize why others liked an artist. As a young adult, I was perplexed by Björk. I dated a few women in the 90s who loved her and I was slow and uninterested in listening to much beyond my usual selection of punk and ska. And then I heard this song and my opinion shifted radically and has never gone back.
Björk, "It's Oh So Quiet" (1995)
