Wife, mom, grandma. Supervisor of the best graduate students ever!
I was raised in a home that opened its doors to the world. After my brother returned from a Rotary exchange, students from across the globe came to visit our farm. My parents (and others) sponsored a Vietnamese family fleeing after the fall of Saigon: events deeply instructive to my life. 1/9

In Mexico, bus drivers were placed on exercise bikes while buses passed inches away.
The goal wasn't punishment, it was perspective.
By feeling the fear cyclists experience in traffic, drivers learned why safe distance and respect on the road matter.

Bob Dylan once said a single folk singer could defeat an entire army. Ladies and gentlemen, I think we have our man.

“We have the most educated population in the world” (Carney, 2026). So why doesn’t the government invest in education? So many cuts provincially and federally.

That makes 8,000- 10,000 jobs lost across the province and reportedly 600 programs gone - but crickets?
Sending love and strength to the 181 Conestoga College faculty and 197 support staff whose holidays have now been ruined by more layoffs.

You deserve so much better.

2550 jobs have been cut in the past 14 months.

I’m so sorry.
