Many Canadians are unaware of the unscrupulous acts that “Canadian-based” mining companies get away with when they're out of the spotlight. This is but one example of violence, intimidation, & empty promises being used to win support for industrial mining in #Ecuador #cdnpoli

Major new attack on free speech by the fossil fuel industry. ⤵️

As wonderful as it was to meet old & new friends at #ISA2024, I'm haunted by the image of so many people living rough on the streets of San Francisco. Out of genuine curiosity, does @isanet work with community orgs working on homelessness & mental health in their host cities?

Why Canada remains a “safe haven” for unscrupulous mining corporations.

Shortsighted & disgraceful are words I’d use to describe the @uofg decision to eliminate our undergraduate program in Spanish & Hispanic Studies. So much for #internationalization. Aquí se habla nonsense.

[Stephen Henighan @StephenHenighan]

Last night, @uofg Senate, I spoke against the abolition of the BA Major in Spanish/Hispanic Studies. Most Senate resolutions pass w/ 95%+ support; my arguments reduced support for getting rid of Spanish to 50-51%. Plse RT if you support universities having Spanish programs!

Después de #DíaNacionalPáramos, hablamos de sus preocupaciones: El cambio climático es más fuerte en al alta montaña, como se ve en la desglaciación del Carihuayrazo. Igual, hasta 2050, 30-50% del #páramo se podría perder por cambio climático.

The #ISA2024 deadline is looming and @SarahESharma & I have space on 2 #resilience-focussed panels. One looks at agents & agency in resilience governance & the other thinks more conceptually about resilience & its current forms and practices. Reach out if you'd like to join us!

This is the new normal. Schools closed due to #heatwaves. Never ever happened when I was a child. Now this is happening every year.
