To all of this talk of Canada as the 51st state, I respond with Greg Curnoe's iconic series of paintings of America, where he created maps of North America that eliminate the United States and stitch Canada together with Mexico. Sadly more relevant now than ever. #ldnont

A new chair in ethics and technology has been established at #WesternU thanks to a $1.5M gift from alum Tim Duncanson. As #AI reaches ever deeper into our lives, bringing an ethical lens to these emerging technologies is more critical than ever. brnw.ch/21wDGCj
