@ceacy_ @geomblog Again this is not true and please stop this misinformation. Ministers and even Justin Trudeau has had to answer for this and discuss what they will change for next year. This has NOTHING to do with what the organizers did/didn't do
@ceacy_ @geomblog It has EVERYTHING to do with how the Canadian visa system has treated Africans.
@ceacy_ @geomblog And this is a well known fact among Africans. Which is why we had started this process before the summer and Yoshua first contacted the federal government in July. Its awful that they distract from the issue and start coming up with all sorts of excuses.
@ceacy_ @geomblog Maybe other people didn't know about this because there are like less than 5 Africans in any given scientific conference I've ever been to in any western country. But we know what it is like and have experienced it for decades. And I knew how terrible Canada was going to be.

A brief thread on some much-needed good news on the populism front: The crushing defeat of Narendra Modi in a string of important state elections.

[Thread.]
Yesterday, five Indian states went to the polls in what was widely considered an important bellwether before next year's vital national elections.
The most important elections took place in three states in which Modi's BJP has ruled for over ten years and Congress, the country's longtime ruling party, had once faced a fall into insignificance: Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh.

Amazingly, Modi's BJP went 0/3!

So #Trudeau is spending #Canada into oblivion. Investment money is leaving or already left. #Canadamilitary lacks equipment and funding, with no long term strategy for procurement of military equipment. Rising interest rates (4th time since last summer) will eventually lead to-
hyper-inflation, absolutely devaluing investments such as Homes and Businesses of the average citizen. No Trade deal is even close to being signed. Massive new Taxes, waves of people entering the country illegally. A Prime minister who was found guilty of 4 felonies committed-
in the course of his duties as Prime Minister. Magically timed shootings coincide with gun control measures, at locations which would be celebrating holidays or having events where large numbers of people would be attending. #cdnpoli

My right arm is hunch and growing up with all these disadvantages i did nt really love myself as much as I should have
My bag in secoundary school became my best friend because I was always laughed at, so I used it to cover my shame.
I did not feel loved neither did I love myself.

Please stop passing misinformation like this around. Let’s talk for a second about why this isn’t true — and why the converse isn’t either.
First, what are we defining as “effective?”

Ranks better? Longer dwell time? More leads generated? Scroll depth? Links earned? They’ve utterly failed to define their succsss criteria, and here’s the tricky part:

A piece can crush it on one success criteria and fail on another.
The whole “long vs short content” debate has become a clown car where those with the loudest voices and a modicum of data “win.”

But here’s why the Big Deal Neils of the world can’t tell you definitively whether long or short is better:

It’s 100% contextual.

4 o’clock. Tea time. Time for some #FBRC myth busting.
The first objection I hear all the time to passing an #FBRC bill is:

"We don't have the money!"
Read.
The.
Bill.

The bill calls for a phased-in implementation done by annual meetings to agree among Gov-House-Senate on that year's implementation.
It's a commitment and it's a plan.
