Three ways Canada can navigate an increasingly erratic and belligerent United States
Charles Conteh
Professor of Public Policy and Administration, Department of Political Science, Brock University
"...the Canada-U.S. relationship is a complex picture of deep interdependence, marked by significant power imbalances, and the creative ways Canada has learned to adapt and prosper. ..."

compilation of never-heard tapes by legendary #coltrane taper frank tiberi! (kind of an awkward headline though, makes it sound like it's a lost album.)
if i understand correctly, tiberi's actual master tapes were lost in the universal studios fire in 2008 along with the entire impulse archive & these are earlier safety transfers.

Abstract: We introduce a new method of expressing a $k$-graph $C^*$-algebra as a Cuntz-Pimsner algebra. Kumjian, Pask, and Sims have done this directly, using a linking algebra approach and a $(k-1)$-graph algebra. This can be iterated downward. Our process, on the other hand, starts at the bottom, with Pimsner's theorem for graph algebras, and iterates upward. We actually work with product systems over $\mathbb N^k$, and the result for $k$-graphs is a special case. Our iteration step involves a ``decategorization'' of a recent theorem showing that the Cuntz-Pimsner construction is functorial at the level of ``enchilada categories''.

In New York social circles, he was known as the “Jewish James Bond”:
a refugee from Nazi Germany whose gratitude to his American hosts was such that he volunteered to join the US army and became the CIA’s first station chief in Berlin as a mere twentysomething,
filing early warnings about Soviet activity that have been credited with ringing in the cold war.

A ground operation by the US Marines headed to Iran likely would involve targeting Iran’s enriched uranium stockpiles and deeply buried facilities — to locate, secure or disable nuclear material that cannot be destroyed from the air.
Although Donald Trump said the June 2025 U.S. strikes had "obliterated" key nuclear sites, analysts note that critical elements of Iran’s program
— particularly enriched uranium stockpiles and deeply buried facilities — likely remain intac…
