This is such a great project. Why don’t we do this across schools?
Congrats to ALL Prof. Leach’s students.
Here are four charts that jumped out at me, but go see the collection for yourself.
This year, as part of my @UofA_Econ 366 class, I offered my students the chance to participate in a Charts Week compilation, modelled off what @jason_kirby has done at Macleans and the Globe and Mail. Here's this term's compilation: econ366.aleach.ca/files/char… #cdnecon #ableg

If a newspaper writes something defamatory about you, you have sue. It's expensive, time-consuming, and unlikely to work.
If you're Ottawa, you just ask the "social-media giants" to take the offending piece down. thestar.com/politics/federal… via @torontostar

It's very expensive to train #AI large language models, quantified, making this unlikely to be achievable in academic institutions

My annual budget buzzword bingo historical histogram.
Is this serious analysis? Nope.
Does it capture the buzzwords of the moment? Maybe?

Curious to know how Canadian unis are handling internal discussions about ChatGPT etc. Are things largely being left for individual profs to work out? Are faculties/depts working out common approaches? Uni-wide approaches? How much is pedagogical focus vs. anti-cheating focus?

🚨 The CanWNT only has 20 players in camp, which isn’t even enough to practice 11 v 11 matches.

It breaks my heart that we legitimately have a team that can go and WIN A WORLD CUP and the federation is literally doing everything financially to not make that happen. Cutting budgets, shrinking rosters, no home game, and mentally draining players. This is not ok. #canwnt

Now this is what #UrbanWinterTrails are all about! @KichiSibiWT groomed in front of Parliament, and a Nordic Ski club from BC skiing on @RideauWinter, hoping on the #LRT to then ski in front of #Parliament.
#MyOttawa #OttawaTourism #getoutside
Skiing from our trail to Hurdman LRT (just seconds from the trail), and heading downtown to ski on Parliament Hill. A great way for visitors from BC to see our beautiful city! #trailbytransit #urbantrail

Update: per @egpayne today, nearly **50,000** kids are in the same situation -- waiting for appts @CHEO.
What a massive failure of ON's healthcare system.
And also, now I really have no hope that our kid gets seen. I mean, a backlog of 50,000 people? How do they ever catch up?
Omg, just got off the phone with @CHEO.
Kiddo has already been waiting more than 7 months for a specialist appointment re: suspected birth defect.
(Note: max clinically recommended wait time is supposed to be 6 months).
For @shawnmicallef's urban nordic adventure files...
The 100+ km of free, groomed winter trails* in Ottawa has a temporary expansion.
* Volunteer-powered urban trails include @owwintertrail @BritanniaTrail @KichiSibiWT @RideauWinter @SkiheritageEast and @SkiONSC

This story is bigger than me! It’s a wake up call for all clubs and it’s a message to all players that if they get pregnant or want to get pregnant during their career they have their rights and guarantees!
