Professor, University of Guelph. All history writing is revisionist, if it wasn’t there would be no reason to study history.

@DaleBarbour @NickFastMA @brian_gettler Penfold isn’t alone studying suburbs. Richard Harris wrote extensively. Also L Solomon. Max Foran. @HaroldBerube Nik Luka. Lots on pre WWII in the lit. Lots on gender and family postwar.

@brian_gettler My guess is it’s more mundane than it looks. 1966 to 1970 Parks was part of Northern Development. Caretaker agreements for historic sites were common.

@SeanCarleton @AdelePerry Thinking of an article about problems seeing colonialism as contact by S Silliman c.2005 in American Antiquity, I think. It should cite any literature from archaeology/anthro

@Ian_Mosby Is Slippery Rock State boring or terrible?

[Alan Gordon @AlanHGordon]

@Ian_Mosby Inspired by this, Dundas to be renamed “Very Long Street”.

Old name had to go, though.

@Ian_Mosby Yes he’s been doing this for 25 years and taking all the (ahem) credit. But the original is Michael Bliss, J Cdn Studies 1992. I assigned Who Killed? to my first grad class and they shredded it too easily. Wasn’t even a good teaching tool.

@awatson8381 @UBCPress Congratulations. This looks ideal for my tourism history seminar.

[Alan Gordon @AlanHGordon]

@Ian_Mosby Doubt it was much debated. I don’t recall anything in PBWaite. It Wasn’t a focus of scholarship his day. But I think fed authority flows from the RP (1763) so not likely an issue in 1860s. I’d look for law review articles on the RP.

@jburnford I think they’re called fluvial or riverine lakes. The St Lawrence has a fair number above Lac St-Pierre.

Spent my morning fixing a minor plumbing problem. Whenever I’m successful at plumbing it shd by a national holiday. Close the schools. Release balloons. Something to show what a rare & extraordinary event this is.

@pashulman Starving them won’t work. They’ve set up full kitchens with pizza ovens. Here’s the latest from Ont government.

Maybe they’re playing moneyball. He got on base

You can look it up. He’s Eddie Gaedel.

@ianmilligan1 I particularly chuckled at the notion of errors in an answer asking for a binary choice between opinions on complex issues. Like you I also appreciate well designed surveys. I’m not going to rank the problems I see in this one.

[Alan Gordon @AlanHGordon]

@ianmilligan1 ‘you may opt out of any question in the survey’ Does not mesh with ‘There were problems with some of the data you entered in the survey. You will find the questions with errors below; please follow the instructions’. Many problems in the design here.

Gotta admit I like the idea of gazpacho police. Cold soup is an abomination

[Social Sci @WesternU @westernuSocSci]

Very little is recorded about what happened in the Black community in London from 1870s-1980s, said @westernupubhist's Michelle Hamilton. “We are hoping to get at that history," as part of a SoHo oral history project #ldnont #BlackHistoryMonth https://t.co/LUG7ILVVd2

@dwebsterhist @brian_gettler What strikes me is the number of American flags I see.

My reason to smile: Celtic 3-0 Rangers.

Maybe Elon Musk is right on AI replacing humans. His cars are starting to drive like us. CTV News: Full Self-Driving' software runs stop signs.

Next they’ll stop using turn signals. https://t.co/Gi5qO0Kq5s

@alanmaceachern @WillJPratt I still confuse you with Allan MacEachen.
