@HarvieTimothy I believe we wrote this in an alternative timeline.

It’s great to see this coming out. I wrote a few pieces for it, including one with my good friend and colleague @DrMacLeod rowman.com/ISBN/978197870…

A year ago, I identified two conditions that would determine the course of the 🇷🇺-🇺🇦 war.
A year later, let's revisit those two conditions and see what they suggest for the road ahead.

@jennfrey @eudaimoniapod The whole shield is underlined by a banner with Queen's motto: Sapienta et Doctrina Stabilitas (Wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times)

Today is my last day on Twitter before a Lenten fast (you can still follow @eudaimoniapod)
But before I go, drop your favorite university seal below. Doesn't have to be American.
South Carolina, USA 🇺🇸 English
@jennfrey @eudaimoniapod In each of the four compartments made by the arms of the cross is an emblem of the university's Canadian and British origins:
at the top a pine tree for Canada
on the left a rose for England
at the bottom a thistle for Scotland
on the right a shamrock for Ireland
English
@jennfrey @eudaimoniapod The cross of St. Andrew, with an open book at the junction to show that the arms belong to a place of learning, represents the original bond between Queen's and Scottish universities (St. Andrew is the patron saint of Scotland).

Did a Russian spy operate out of two of Canada’s universities?
Evidence suggests it’s a possibility, writes @guicorneau. If so, it opens a window on Canada’s vulnerability as a country where spies can gather information and sources.

The best piece of journalism on Canadian immigration I’ve read in a long time, by a wide margin. Another level. Must read. Journalists writing on immigration: take note, this is how you do it. Kudos @mattlundy33. theglobeandmail.com/business/artic…

Does the 🇷🇺-🇺🇦 war mean the "End of History" is over?
Let's revisit Francis Fukuyama's famous thesis.

@BrianDijkema @mlbitton This is tied to my related research that “corporate social responsibility” can be linked to faith-inspired workers and religious accommodation. Which seems anathema to a lot of both pro-CSR and anti-CSR arguments on the left and right. /fin
English
@BrianDijkema @mlbitton This is a great argument (which I agree with), and your talk was pitch perfect. I’m working on research that, inter alia, argues that businesses led by faith-inspired individuals can be “pro-union” and that “religious freedom” is fully compatible with “pro-worker.” 2/

Good thread here from @mlbitton. I'm particularly grateful for the recognition that these are well established traditions that many of us (cough) have been arguing for & practicing for years. I'm bemused (amused?) by the current trend to rebrand this in "radical" terms...1/

@DrMQureshi @54kdoctors @sheona_macleod @drcmday Please Dr MacLeod. This is a small thing. It may help clarify matters. It may help rught a deep wrong to Dr Day.

@sheona_macleod this seems quite simple.
You either shared the document or you didn't.
If you didn't share this document just confirm it and let @drcmday move on with his life.
If you did share it then a court has been misled yet again by HEE and you will probably stay silent
Dr Chris Day@drcmday
I'm afraid my 8 yr fight with HEE is over forever unless the false document that was sent to Sir Norman Lamb was shared with Post Graduate Deans by this person. Her absence as a HEE witness was significant. I'm expecting a straight forward response to this email then it's over

Writing my opening welcome for my classes (online for January) and it’s basically just an acknowledgement that everything sucks but we can still have interesting conversations together.

@ab_vax Thank you! I’ll try it. I can always try the call too of course!

@DrMacLeod You can book a second one and then cancel the first one apparently!

@HarvieTimothy I know that I’m a “glass half full” person by disposition but given that Canada’s population has grown 40% in the same period, I’m going to argue we’ve made at least some good progress. Of course, there’s no denying that things are moving too slowly!
