@SteveSaretsky What if...the plan is to lower the relative value of homes slowly over time, rather than just crater the market overnight? I'm on board for this policy if it makes home ownership reachable sooner while preserving retirement plans

Canada’s new housing minister doubles down, says we must ensure people’s assets are protected.

Excited to share this commentary on cell ag -- a normative take, informed by previous work on research directions for more possible public acceptance: nature.com/articles/s4200…

@elonmusk All for curbing waste but let's not narrow our definition of science for politics. Science is empirical, data driven, testable, seeks to disprove, is quantitative or qualitative. Let's not get rid of some science because an administration doesn't like some research questions.

Not science

@Brokennfang @fordnation Canadian border crossing are less than 1% as compared to Mexico...this isn't about the border, he wants to hurt our economy

@fordnation Fix. The. Border. You’re aiming your fire in the wrong direction. This is an Ottawa problem.

President Trump is hellbent on undermining Canada. The federal government needs to be ready to immediately implement a strong and forceful response. Dollar for dollar. Tariff for tariff. Canada won't start this fight, but we have to be ready to win it.

What is Agriculture? 👩‍🌾 It is farming. 🏦 It is Business 🔬 It is Science. 👷‍♀️ It is Engineering. ⚡️ It is Energy. 📢 It is Information. 👩‍⚕️ It is Healthcare. 🚜 It is Technology. Smile on the face of my good friend @a_glaros says it all.

Neither of these are traditional balsamic vinegars, but we did some taste testing in class and the difference in taste and smell between a $20 and $5 bottle are incredible! Fermentation is pretty neat.

Brew tour, lacto ferment demo, and bread making field trip today for geography of fermentation class 🍻

Family going through #ow #odsp applications. Combined household income ~$30,000, one asset (car), physically unable to work, application for #ontarioworks denied? Apparently the @ONgov thinks individuals can live off of $15,000 a year. Time for a #BasicIncome

This is huge! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Check out our recent piece in Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, where we present a framework to debate and describe novel ag-tech futures. @Feeding9Billion @DrLenoreNewman robnewell frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

BREAKING: Developers in Ontario had direct influence over the province’s decision to extract lands from the Greenbelt and received “preferential treatment." - Directives came from Doug Ford's office - Owners of the now 15 parcels of land - value will go up $8.3B - Of the 7,400 acres extracted, 6,700 — or 92 per cent — was removed as a direct result of developer access to the chief of staff. - 3 weeks to identify 22 parcels of land for sale (via @isaaccallan and @ColinDMello) globalnews.ca/news/9884252/o…

Tis the season

Really excited to share our recent report on possible land use scenarios for vert ag in BC - finally found a way to sneak sci-fi creative writing into my day job (12 year old Alex would be overjoyed!) doi.org/10.13140/RG.2.…
