100 percent true.
Asked who would win in a hypothetical war between Canada and the U.S., @Gladwell tells @JeffreyGoldberg that Canada would prevail “because all of the American troops invade Canada, and then realize that they want to stay.”

We talk about doing good all the time: on inequality, inclusive growth, climate, health. So why do we fail along the way? Because economics lacks a coherent theory of the common good. The compass in The Common Good Economy holds everyone who claims to pursue the common good accountable: purpose, co-creation, shared knowledge, shared rewards, transparency. Spoke with @peter_tl for @Reuters The Big View, links below.

Congratulations @seyeabimbola on leading one of the most provocative and original journals of our times, for your courage in challenging powerful interests so inimical to health, and for helping to redefine the very meaning of global health itself. You are not going away.
Some personal news:
I've decided to step down as EiC of BMJ Global Health. Next week marks 8 years since its first issue, published 8 months after I was appointed its EiC.
Thank you for all your support over the years.

Sad indeed
Another one bites the dust. Canada Innovation Corporation on hold - previously announced $2.6B over 4 years. Where is Canada's interest and ambition in being competitive?
