    This summer I’ll be attending the Strategic Perspectives in Nonprofit Management program at Harvard Business School, and I’m really excited about it. One of the things I’ve learned since entering the non-profit world is that leadership is never really “finished.” There’s always

    This morning we are in court fighting the Trudeau government's appeal of a federal court ruling that their use of the Emergencies Act against the Freedom Convoy was illegal and unconstitutional. I've written about it here:

    As a civil liberties lawyer I am deeply concerned with what has been happening with the @seanfeucht concerts across Canada. While park officials have discretion to revoke permits for legitimate safety issues, it is unclear that the decisions here are guided by safety or if that

    The number of people who would willingly submit to authoritarian policies because the government tells them it is to keep them safe is really depressing.

    Freeland is spending a lot of time discussing electric vehicle subsidies. Which seems supremely irrelevant for the purpose of this inquiry. #POEC
