This is abhorrent behaviour. There are young kids who would love to support their team and wear a jersey, let alone have more than one. Grow up…

This is the central problem with higher education in the age of AI. We can't require students to do take-home writing assignments (e.g. term papers) any more, because most will cheat and have ChatGPT or Claude or Grok do the writing. But we can't teach critical thinking,

In 1981, Shel Silverstein published the poem "The Homework Machine." What an excellent reminder that as we continue to see the progression of AI and language learning models, it is important that we instill the values of critical thinking and independent thought in education.

Grateful to see my op-ed published in today’s Edmonton Journal. The Stollery underscores why apolitical, long-term infrastructure planning matters. State-of-the-art facilities do not happen by accident; they start with a plan. edmontonjournal.com/opinion/column…
