@aaronwherry Since Canada has effectively had no Official Opposition since 2015, because they have been campaigning full time 24/7/365, it's more important than ever to have back benchers like Erskine-Smith who use an adult voice to keep the government in check.
Following the breakup of the USSR, UA gave up it's nuclear weapons in exchange for weakly worded promise of assistance, primarily by US, UK and France. UA needs to be fully equipped to defend their sovereignty, including whatever weapons, including nuclear, they require to vanquish the Russians and sustain their democracy.

@lanmijo This was always happening in my area (SW Ontario Canada) in late summer/early fall. Zillions of them. Then they seemed to vanish for few years. And then, suddenly in mid January there was a small cloud of them - thousand or more I'd guestimate. Very strange.

@StephenMaher This is the kind of book one could expect from others - disgruntled nannies, butlers, in-laws. But tbh I'm disappointed to see the former FM stoop.

The issue at Harvard is far more than my vetoed fellowship. It won't significantly impede my future. But I worry about younger academics who are less known. If I can be canceled because of my criticism of Israel, will they risk taking the issue on? https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/jan/10/kenneth-roth-human-rights-watch-harvard-israel

I once ran Human Rights Watch. Harvard blocked my fellowship over Israel

I was told that my fellowship at the Kennedy School was vetoed over my and Human Rights Watch’s criticism of Israel

@rbreich Two years ago today, trump should have been arrested. One year ago today, trump should have been convicted. Today, trump should be sitting in a dank prison cell.
