pennswoodsWell done Canada. Fuck Trump and his 51st state bullshit.
As an aside, in a few weeks, the annual conference for the Computer Assisted Language Instruction Consortium is taking place in San Diego, California. It is usually held in the US but sometimes in Canada (like Montreal in 2019). While a number of European colleague will be attending despite trepidation around bullshit at customs, almost no Canadian colleagues* are coming in person and instead will be presenting online. They are that united and determined to not spend a penny in a country that is threatening their sovereignty.
*The one I know who is coming lost her husband suddenly last November (he was only 65) and is traveling as much as possible during this first year without him.
