Dr. Margaret Meyer, Mark Carney’s doctoral supervisor, is unequivocal: there is no evidence of plagiarism in his PhD thesis.

Despite this, the American-owned National Post ignored this evidence and ran a story based on the “analysis” of a Conservative donor and activist.

Former senior Canadian intelligence officials say Canada needs to be on the lookout for campaigns aimed at destabilizing the country amid Donald Trump's escalating 51st state threats.
They say those attempts would likely come on social media, such as X. https://t.co/Iq8ydWL4zN

Looking forward to giving my first research presentation in Paris this June as part of the _Augustin et les Pères grecs_ event at the Sorbonne. My paper, which will be presented in English (sorry), is: 'Influence de Basile de Césarée sur Augustin : anges, planètes et temps.'

Jesse Marsch issues a message to U.S. President Donald Trump 🎙️

"Lay off the ridiculous rhetoric about Canada being the 51st state; as an American, I'm ashamed of the arrogance and disregard we've shown one of our historically oldest, strongest and most loyal allies."

Trump tells us the joke is no longer the joke but the strategy. He literally wants our country. This is war through economic means. Do Americans realize what their president is up to?

My undergraduate mentor Dr. John Kitchen (he's the best) will be giving a talk this Friday at the University of Alberta. It's got an eye-catching title! Join us at 3:30 PM in Tory 2-58.

Today is the perfect day to remind the Conservatives @CPC_HQ and their clapping seals that it was your government and former PM Stephen Harper who first brought Mark Carney on board. So skip the tears and dramatics, because back then, you all couldn't have been more thrilled🤧🇨🇦
