Let's add subtraction to academia! That's the message from @Leidyklotz and me. The sacred cows we listed for "trimming" were:
Grading
Enterprise software
Reference letters
Meetings
Awards
Academic papers
What are yours?

Last night AB Premier @jkenney spoke about his concern regarding the "stigma" faced by unvaccinated.
Reality: Being unvaccinated is not an immutable trait or a noble stand. It is almost always simply a decision –usually informed by misinformation & ideological spin.

I keep hearing that Canada is divided on vaccines. But we’re nearing 80% of the entire population with at least their first dose. We are probably more divided over Nickelback collectively as a country then we are over vaccines. This is a very vocal minority.

This will be my most sincere tweet ever.
I am pleading with anyone who will listen. I’m begging you, as a nurse, from the bottom of my heart…please get vaccinated. Today.
I’m so tired. We’re all so tired. And we’re running out of resources and people. Please…please help us.
2021, you couldn't end without one more "fuck you" to us all. 😢

I am so grateful that my university has mandated vaccinations, continues to offer both in-person and online classes, and is monitoring the situation as COVID cases rise.
I really feel for my colleagues around the world who feel unsafe at work. Universities must do better.

How Canada Works:
An ice cream company called Chapman's raised the hourly wage for employees who were double vaccinated.
Anti-vaxxers found out and threatened a boycott.
When ordinary Canadians found out, they started buying every single box of the ice cream on the shelves.
