Associate Professor @BrockCPCF / Author of Crisis in a Tweet: The Rise of the Social Media Crisis (UTP, 2026) / Crisis Communication in Canada (UTP, 2017)
Major career update: I'm thrilled to announce that Brock University has granted me tenure and promotion to Associate Professor.
I couldn't have done it without the support of my family, friends, and colleagues in the Communication, Popular Culture & Film department.
The condo bailout is also a bank bailout. The fact that governments are pushing these egregiously unpopular policies suggests things are worse than they seem. This feels like Canada’s Big Short moment.

@fagan_jim@AtaqueFutbolero Exactly. If Canada loses the third game, they could be tied on points with either Bosnia or Qatar. So then goal difference comes into play to decide 2nd and 3rd place. It's important in those first two games to get as many goals as possible.
97 - Canada made 97 touches in the attacking box against Qatar, 26 more than any other team in a FIFA World Cup match on record (since 1966 - Germany 71 vs. Costa Rica in 2022).
Overwhelming.
Overdose deaths went up with decriminalization of narcotics in B.C., then fell once police resumed enforcement of drug laws, according to @GovCanHealth figures. Cabinet has previously denied B.C. experiment was a failure.

In Yemen, 90% of men and 50% of women chew khat daily. A quarter of all their household income is spent on this plant.
Alcohol is haram, but they are all drug addicts. Make it make sense.
@Mike_Leach1976 Everybody makes a big deal about the size of the stadium in LA and Azteca... but wouldn't you rather be in a 42K stadium like BMO with better views?
* Correct quote is “politically left” not socialist. Point stands. Entrepreneurs take potential and turn it into value that’s added to the global GDP. They capture a small amount of that value in the process which is a big part of the incentive. The rest goes to others, employees, shareholders, government, suppliers etc.
You can always criticize them. You can always criticize the redistribution efforts. But you should always remember that without them, there is very little new value enters society and that locks everyone in zero sum competition, sometimes war.
Entrepreneurs are load bearing for human thriving. It’s a glorious act to put yourself out there and build a company that provides good and services to everyone. And Elon is the best entrepreneur that ever was. You don’t have to like him, and sure he’s crazy, but otherwise he wouldn’t do crazy things. Same coin, two sides.
