In several surveys, the overwhelming first choice for what makes Canada unique is multiculturalism. This, in a world collapsing into stupid, impoverishing hatreds, is the distinctly Canadian national project.

An interesting new ranking of world universities from Time magazine:

The World's Top Universities of 2026

A few things that I found interesting:

1. Chicago (#5) is ranked higher than Harvard (#6)
2. Michigan (cradle of geniuses) is ranked #9, ahead of every other US public university
3. Ohio State (#33) is ranked higher than Texas (#37) and both are ranked above Carnegie Mellon (#38)

Note that these are not the US News undergraduate school rankings, but rankings of the universities as a whole.
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar
