Moving to Canada? So did I, four years ago. I love this country and plan to make it my forever home, but not all is perfect in paradise. Here is a list of things I wish I knew. I’ll share them in hopes to save you some of the head-aches:

I doubt know what is crazier, the fact that a grown man wrote an article about how got so horny watching a woman lecturing on Kant that he went out and hired a hooker, or the fact that an editor read this piece and said “Yes, we should publish this in our magazine.”
Advice for scholars: next time you lecture on Kant and revolutions at “Downing” (@DarwinCollege) Cambridge, make sure your hair is neatly tied and that you’re not blonde. Or else your research impact will be on the @spectator libido section.
