Cities are rife with ultrafine particles (UFPs) from vehicle #emissions.
Research at #McGill shows how #EV adoption, retiring older #diesel trucks, and reducing #traffic could avert more than 3,600 premature deaths in #Montreal and #Toronto by 2040.

#CAQ govt will require #Quebec universities - #Concordia, #Bishop’s and #McGill - to raise the French language proficiency of its students.
Sixty percent of their students must reach level 4 French proficiency or provincial funding will have to be repaid by the universities.
Similar rules were already put in place for students at English #CEGEPs two years ago.
The link below gives some sample language proficiency tests if you want to test your level.

"Later, it would be discovered that she was unknowingly enrolled in the secret CIA research program now known as MK Ultra, where she was the victim of brainwashing experiments at the hands of Dr. Ewen Cameron. She was injected with LSD and forced to listen to Cameron’s voice on tape for hours."

Kansas has been represented exclusively by Republicans in the US Senate for 87 years.
The most recent Democrat to represent Kansas in the US Senate was George McGill, who served from Dec. 1930 to Jan. 1939.McGill was elected to the US Senate in 1930 and 1932.
That means it has been 94 years since Kansas elected a Democrat to the US Senate.
McGill lost reelection in 1938.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_McGill_(Kansas_politician)

'I Smell Burnt Toast': Mapping the Human Brain
Dr. Wilder Penfield, a neurosurgeon at McGill University, changed our understanding of the human brain. By electrically stimulating the brains of conscious patients during surgery (who reported sensations like smelling burnt toast), he created functional maps of the brain's cortices. His 'Montreal Procedure' for treating epilepsy is still used today. #Canada #Neuroscience #McGill #MedicalHistory 🇨🇦

🧠🌲 Researchers from #McGill University reviewed over 100 brain-imaging studies to explain how natural patterns like #fractals ease sensory load and quiet the amygdala.
This process shifts the #brain out of fight-or-flight mode and restores task-driven attention that is often fatigued by digital screens.

Legault's legacy of making Anglos feel unwelcome in their own province
https://nationalpost.com/opinion/legaults-legacy-of-making-anglos-feel-unwelcome-in-their-own-provinceI think of this as the "hassle the anglos" strategy: the #CAQ would periodically show how much they cared about protecting French by creating new difficulties for anglo-Quebeckers.
As if the presence of #McGill in #Montréal, for instance, isn't an advantage for Quebeckers overall...

I'm reading Shock Doctrine and it shouldn't be surprising, I suppose, that students and others who sought medical care were tortured at #McGill University.
The revered institutions of western elitism all seem to be full of skeletons in the closet.

New book on the history of McGill University - written and edited by historians, not the university's comms department. I wrote a chapter on how Indigenous dispossession and colonial politicians saved McGill when it was in danger of going broke. Others cover McGill's ties to chattel slavery, Japanese exclusion, research of various sorts, student lives, queer experiences, and more.
