People don't realize how absurd this view actually is.

A camera. On a robot. On Mars.

Built by humans on a planet 140 million miles away, launched on a rocket, landed using a sky crane, and now driving across an alien desert taking pictures so detailed you can count the rocks.

100 years ago, your great-grandparents thought airplanes were a miracle.

You are scrolling past Mars on your phone.

@Wayne81573 Of course you can! Toronto happens to be the AI hub for much of the world. If you look at where a lot of great LLM and AI research happened, it is Toronto. On top of that Waterloo and Queen’s are excellent schools for what we do. The density of talent is very high.

What a great list!

What a pleasant surprise. The Stephen Leacock Medal for Humour longlist is out and The Marionette somehow made the cut. When you decide to write a comic-thriller (where the humour and suspense undercut each other), you don't expect to make this list. #Grateful

Great to be at #DXC26 this morning hearing Minister MacKinnon outline the steps the federal government is taking to ensure the integrity of Canadian elections.

Love my alma mater @McMasterU for sharing this!

McMaster University has posted the email written by the professor to Canadian figure skater Maddie Schizas, granting her an extension on her assignment.

“I’d say focus on the competition right now, and submit it directly to me when it is done”

This is a really lovely note.

@rachkmc Get better soon Rachel but in the meantime this is a very good plan

@BowersWrites Alex that is a very small repair to have made-you’ll be wearing that maple leaf again in no time. 💕

Thank you to the @LeongCentre for convening a terrific symposium. Great to see the collective commitment to improving child well-being.

[Edwin S.H. Leong Centre for Healthy Children @LeongCentre]

✨ We kicked off the @LeongCentre 2025 Symposium today with an inspiring plenary from @NancyNNaylor, former Deputy Minister of Education (Ontario). She challenged us to think about collaboration between health and education systems to better support children and families.

[Edwin S.H. Leong Centre for Healthy Children @LeongCentre]

🌟 What an incredible day at the @LeongCentre 2025 Symposium! From plenaries to breakout sessions, we explored the intersections of health and education. 🙏 Thank you to our speakers & research community for sparking the conversations that will drive change forward.

Congratulations to @UHN on launching the Canada Leads 100 Challenge. The recruitment of top scientists will help Canada take its leadership in health research to the next level and contribute to groundbreaking discoveries right here at home.

This is beautiful - those firefighters disregarded their own safety and raced in to save #NotreDameDeParis- they knew that there was something more than bricks and mortar here.

@UinvitedU Our church started using tap machines at our bake sales and proceeds have doubled. People are very willing to be generous when we give them this quiet means to do so.
