@David_Moscrop Calendly does the job pretty well. Interface is easy. And it automatically changes time zone based on the users device settings

@redroomrantings Tell me what you think of it if you ever try it out!

A sovereign wealth fund is a great idea, Canada should have had one years ago. But the devil is in the details. What kind of projects will it invest in, and in what form? And how will the public interest truly be advanced over time? Many questions to be answered... #cdnecon /2

Thanks for nothing, François Legault

I have a story up today about why young college grads are feeling so angry: It’s more than just rising unemployment and the threat of AI. It’s a deep sense of betrayal. 1/ https://t.co/9JbOLH1zIK

Last month, I got to join the fabulous @TR_Illustration in delivering a course on union organizing at Concordia University for SEIZE. Each semester, im blown away by the students. Olivia Champagne & her team are doing nothing less than reshaping the political landscape of mtl

A feat unachievable with the indispensable work of @selena_pb

When I first began unionizing McGill University's Faculty of Science, I was told it couldn't be done. People are too wealthy. Too workaholic. Don’t see themselves as workers.

This week, I'm proud to announce we’ve filed for union certification with majority membership.

[Maxim Baru @maxbaru]

It’s been an absolute privilege to work with the entrepid team of professors at McGill’s Facutly of Science to establish their first ever independent, faculty run union in the school’s history. Endlessly inspired to help workers build their union from the ground up.

@business @matthewstoller might be interested in the monopoly related comments here

[Maxim Baru @maxbaru]

@ChrisCWright1 Sure do! What angles are you interested in more specifically?

@ToulasTake “the elimination of the luxury tax in the latest federal budget could ‘create incredible momentum in Canada’ for private jets” 😂

[Maxim Baru @maxbaru]

@noampomsky Definitely. I’ve found same in union organizing work. And I found it resonates with this concept I discovered through friends in healthcare https://t.co/B767J3qMdW

@TurboHaus Keep up the good fight.

Not the fix—the tell. The new $100k H-1B fee isn’t a solution so much as an admission: the program was built to mute wage signals by adding a visa “compensation” channel. Prices matter—now fix the design that suppresses domestic STEM pay. https://t.co/o7LQtUmYFg
