I really hope nobody tells the President about Mexico Bay, on Lake Ontario. It might set off a frenzy.

In yesterday's NY Times, a really interesting article on whether or not people were healthier in the past. Lots of medical historians give perspective. It is always good to see my #MedHist colleagues bring their significant research to bear on imp public policy discussions.

I'm reading the back catalogue of the American conservative publication Human Events for a project. Ran across this gem from 1974 on liberal bias in the media

@JimFergusonUK First, why would Canada enter as a single state? With all of our territory, even with the low pop, we should enter as at least 5 states. Maybe we could merge with some of the existing states. Second, few Canadians would embrace this, although many of us love America and Americans

I submitted my marks yesterday, so back to some writing. A wee excerpt from the intro to my next book that discusses CUPW, back-to-work legislation, and how J-C Parrot's defiance landed him in jail.

[Peter L. Twohig @Ptwohig]

CUPW successfully challenged their employer's intimidation tactics.The Canada Industrial Relations Board mediated a settlement that rescinded layoff notices issued on the first day of the strike. CUPW is once again standing for the rights of all workers.

A day to reflect on violence against women and remember the young women who were murdered at École Polytechnique.

I was happy to attend an event on campus for the first time in a long time. It was SMUFU’s 50th birthday. Great to see my colleague Peter MacInnis (CAUT President) and David Robinson at the event. Thanks to Cathy Conrad Suso for her leadership. #SolidarityForever

I am not inflexible when it comes to the needs of students. There are many different learning styles, most of my students have to work, etc. But there is a segment of the student population that insists on special consideration, even when it is not warranted. Chickens and roosts.

There is a story on the Halifax reddit about Highmart Convenience exploiting people on the promise of a job, and not paying them for work that they did. Unpaid training is illegal in NS under the labour standards code. #TheMoreYouKnow #ClassFirstPolitics

[Peter L. Twohig @Ptwohig]

I'm watching Global News and listening to charities criticize striking CUPW workers. It infuriates me. None of the charities in the story will ever get a dime of my money. #Solidarity #ClassFirstPolitics

The Irish election is (again) a three-way split between parties with rich histories. Exit polls show Sinn Féin with a slim advantage. Counting starts today.

[Peter L. Twohig @Ptwohig]

I am really excited to be presenting some early findings today from my new SSHRC-funded research project on occupational health & safety in Canada and the US post-1950 to a gathering of PhD students in Industrial-Organizational Psychology.

@SarahSpain will always be my GOAT for the Halloween show but today’s performance by @CourtneyRCronin was epic.

[Around the Horn @AroundtheHorn]

Need everyone to witness the work @CourtneyRCronin put in while NOT on camera 😂

[Peter L. Twohig @Ptwohig]

Crowd is 🔥 🔥 🔥

The best @WNBA season in history got the final it deserved. Edge-of-your-seat stuff. Go @nyliberty get the first one — 27 yrs is long enough to wait.
