Que faire contre les messages haineux en ligne qui se multiplient? J'ai parlé à une militante Inuk qui en reçoit tous les jours et à deux avocats pour comprendre si la loi nous protège vraiment www.24heures.ca/2026/03/10/t...
In 2024, the most common careers among previous postdocs were in research associate/staff scientist positions (30 per cent) and the public service (20 per cent), with only 15 per cent in tenure-track roles. This means that most doctoral graduates do not follow the so-called traditional academic career trajectory. So, are our institutions equipping us with the professional development needed to secure these early career positions? Our data reveals that previous postdocs received training in career development (25 per cent) and research ethics (22 per cent), but less so in networking (14 per cent in 2024, versus 25 per cent in 2020). Yet 26 per cent of postdocs said that networking is an area of training of special interest to them.
15% of postdocs landing tenure-track roles is really quite bad, as is only 22% getting training in research ethics.

Philosophy Should Be Among the Most Diverse Disciplines, Not the Least
The productive engine of philosophy depends on novelty and difference. A fair and flourishing discipline would treasure rather than repel those who have historically been excluded.

Poster which shows color photo scene of moving, a room with boxes and clothes sitting on the floor, a chair, and the end of a bed (white rails forming a headrest and a mattress with a red cover). The text of the poster is: "Impact (small logo top left)," "According to a new survey by the Movement Advancement Project, approximately 401,000 transgender people have relocated from one U.S. state to another since the 2024 presidential election." "The mass relocations in 2025 due to safety concerns, political conditions, and anti-trans laws nd policies have largely impacted conservative states across the country."

A Canadian jury convicted a protester of criminal assault for sounding an electronic whistle at a Conservative MP:
"Superior Court Justice Charles Hackland told the jury there were no legal precedents for the assault charge: assault with a weapon normally involves touching someone with that object"
In light of Jean Chrétien's most recent denialist comments - story to come, basically he downplays the harm of the IRS system - I went down the rabbit hole researching how far Indigenous leaders lobbied him, as Minister of Indian Affairs in the 1960s and 1970s, to close the system 🧵
Minister of AI Evan Solomon seems to be bending to industry pressure for "light" gov't regulation.
Data Centres are resource intensive. The billionaire tech bros behind AI are fascist-aligned. There is REAL cause for concern with his direction.

Canadians horrified by what ICE is doing should realize the RCMP uses the same tactics domestically against Indigenous people and yet barely anyone speaks up.
Journalists have been arrested just for trying to cover it
Turns out that the publisher of the property law textbook I use, Thomson Reuters, "holds a contract worth up to $22 million (U.S.) that began in May 2021 to provide ICE with access to a law enforcement investigative database subscription". Welp, new book time...
