Empty booths at overseas education fairs. Administrators struggling to keep up with unpredictable changes. And yes, enrolments forecast to fall below Canada's international student visa cap. My latest in @UA.

More interesting to me is that the Grade 9 EQAO will now count for 10 percent of a student's mark. That's a provincial mandate, not one imposed at school (which has gone on for years). Debate-worthy.

@StormhunterTWN @weathernetwork I watched from east Toronto. Why was there no thunder?

This is a full circle moment to be in conversation with @UA_magazine where my earliest ideas for hope circuits found an emerging, wobbly voice under the care of long-time editor Leo Charbonneau. Thank you @univcan for leading conversations about PSE: https://t.co/9LTAOp5XE3

@blogTO Kayaking, if you don't have a canoe. A kayak is also preferred when you're solo b/c it's easier/more maneuverable/lighter to paddle, esp around the Toronto waterfront.

@brodiefenlon @Brdcaster @CBCNews Fantastic news, Brodie, which I missed because I was away and Twitter usually makes me sad -- but not this.
