I had a great time giving a short guest lecture on Bill 21 to @queenspols.bsky.social Canadian Politics course for their week on Quebec politics! Bill 21 is a great contemporary case study to use to talk about Quebec politics (and the Charter, of course).

Queen's Department of Political Studies Assistant Professor and American politics expert Paul Gardner appeared on @ctvyourmorning.bsky.social this week to discuss what President Trump can do through executive orders. 📜🖊️

Ontario govt 8 years ago: We're capping the number of students we fund.

Colleges and universities: Okay, we'll raise tuition to keep up with inflation...
