Yesterday I passed my doctoral viva with minor corrections! It was rather surreal to hear myself called Dr Burlock… Many thanks to @EHChalus and @HelenBerry14 who rigorously examined my thesis and prompted stimulating discussion, and @Amanda_Vickery for supervising my research.

Starting today and until U.S. tariffs are removed, Ontario is banning American companies from provincial contracts.
Every year, the Ontario government and its agencies spend $30 billion on procurement, alongside our $200 billion plan to build Ontario. U.S.-based businesses will now lose out on tens of billions of dollars in new revenues. They only have President Trump to blame.
We’re going one step further. We’ll be ripping up the province’s contract with Starlink. Ontario won’t do business with people hellbent on destroying our economy.
Canada didn't start this fight with the U.S., but you better believe we're ready to win it.

"Given that one’s social credit could now be achieved through appearance and performance – rather than the traditional markers of personal value and standing – then the fake buckle became the focus of anxieties about the fluidity of the social order."

Canada is mobilizing to help fight the wildfires in southern California. Canadian water bombers are already in action. 250 firefighters are ready to deploy. The @CanadianForces are standing by to move personnel and equipment.
To our American neighbours: Canada's here to help.
