@asimakoaa "There's a storm coming in." That's a line from the Terminator. Are you trying to tell us something?

Here's a short documentary I created on The North Wall, the memorial to Canadian Vietnam war dead. I produced it for use in the classroom to spark discussion, but I hope it has wider reach. Thanks.

Over a million views in just a few hours. I think he struck a chord.

Russia illegally and unjustifiably invaded Ukraine.

For three years now, Ukrainians have fought with courage and resilience. Their fight for democracy, freedom, and sovereignty is a fight that matters to us all.

Canada will continue to stand with Ukraine and Ukrainians in achieving a just and lasting peace.

100 years ago Saturday the NYT ran a story that did not hold up well at all.

The #GordieHoweBridge project team is rooting for the Detroit Lions this weekend as they build on their incredible season and look to bridge the gap to the Super Bowl for the first time ever. Let’s go, @Lions! #Detroit

Again, democracy wins. A resolute commitment to freedom and unity always prevails. President Biden forges ahead and leads our country & democracy ahead.

@travisfortnum @CTVWindsor As a reporter I met Lightfoot at Mariner's Church on the 20th or 25th anniversary of the sinking (I forget which). I recall he was very humble, just there to commemorate the dead. He was reluctant to speak but graciously gave me a couple of short clips. RIP.

@JustinTrudeau Many critics of this deal and of LG-Stellantis in Windsor miss that while the jobs are important, it is also important to be in the game technologically. I haven't heard much about the engineering and tech spinoffs that will come. Canada a green future leader. Well done.

Ok Twitter cognoscenti. Explain this massive monotonic decline in trust in public service. Unprecedented. Harbinger of legitimacy crisis. Not business as usual..

‘I don’t have anything for you. You have to create a book.’ Nice cover up, for not prepping your course! Lol. I'm sure it was a fantastic class, as always, Dr. Gervais.

Hey @cbcgem -- how about re-airing this one from the vault, as a tribute to Gordon Pinsent? It's the only tv drama series in which he had the starring role. He played Quentin Durgens, M.P., a backbencher in the Commons. You have it in your archives. Don't cost you nothing.

What a great challenge for post-secondary students to participate in! WindsorEssex hosts the busiest commercial border crossing between Canada and the U.S! Looking forward to seeing some creative ideas! @_investwe #WindsorEssexRTDS #OVIN #Crossbordertech #simulation
