Well, the Toronto Raptors vs NEW YORK KNICKS game got lopsided in the 2nd half, to the hometown team’s advantage. Raps lose 126-100. Always lots of stars in the house at MSG, including Mick Jagger tonight.
I felt kinda guilty today reading the story in the The Globe and Mail by Zosia Bielski about baby boomers who are sad to be entering their golden years w/o grandchildren. I’ve been blessed so far w/ 8 grandkids & another on the way.
Kudos to Stephen A Smith for calling out #NikkiHaley for her “we’ve never been a racist country comment: “As a Black man in the United States of America, understanding our history … How dare you, how dare you say something like that?” youtu.be/j1ics79sv18?si… via YouTube
Thank you for sharing. You’re an inspiration & your activism helps break down stigma. #MentalHealthAwareness #SuicidePrevention
Sad to hear of the death of Peter Russell, a giant in our discipline & a truly lovely person. Like so many others, I benefited from his mentorship, first as a grad student Political Science & then as a university teacher & scholar. He was always so generous, wise & passionate. RIP
Congrats to UCalgary Arts alumna & @UCalgary Hon Doc Susanne Craig & her colleagues on their legal victory over #DonaldTrump , who brought a frivolous suit against them w/o facts or evidence.
RIP Ed Broadbent. He was one of the best. He got his PhD from Political Science for a thesis on “The Good Society of John Stuart Mill” supervised by C.B. Macpherson. Unlike other academics who couldn’t make the transition to partisan politics, Brodbent excelled. He made a difference.
Monster game for RJ. Big win for the @raptors over the Golden State Warriors. Canadians on both sides, but RJ & Chris Boucher (17 pts, 9 reb in 16 min) certainly outplayed Andrew Wiggins (3 pts, 2 reb) & Corey Joseph (no pts). #WeTheNorth Canada Basketball
I've been waiting for this. I knew that my esteemed U Calgary colleague & expert on academic integrity, Dr. Sarah Elaine Eaton🇨🇦, would be the best guide on how to respond to the current weaponization of #plagiarism , maintaining academic standards while respecting human dignity.
