Public policy & politics enthusiast. Urban flaneuse. Love classical dance, theatre, & the Toronto arts community. Work in the higher education sector.
Picked up a book I can’t wait to read from my local Canadian independent bookstore: Abundance by @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social & @dkthomp.bsky.social We all need some optimism about “renewing a politics of plenty” and actionable change strategies to move us in this direction.

The Kennedy Center has an amazing arts exhibit themed around outreach & collaboration with the international community by US artists & organizations since the 1960s. Don’t see this continuing. What a loss.

A very impressive turnout for @markcarney2025.bsky.social rally in Mississauga this evening.
Packed. The enthusiasm was overwhelming. Very strong support for Carney!

A well crafted speech by Trudeau on the US trade war with Canada. Hopefully the US media will replay clips as he spoke directly to our American citizen friends on the impact for them, the data on Fetanyl plus our border security measures. And that “Donald” was listening.

Higher education is in crisis. Why was it not a bigger campaign issue for Ontario's political parties during the election? @namshine.bsky.social spoke with Anne Sado (@gbcollege.bsky.social), @alexusherhesa.bsky.social, and Elizabeth Buckner (@oiseuoft.bsky.social ) #onpoli #onpse

Super Bowl 2025 definitely not the culmination of an exciting 24-25 NFL season. Wish it had been the Buffalo Bills, a team that gave us so much joy, every single week. Today’s SB: boring!

@uoft.bsky.social President Meric Gertler explains why limiting the number of international graduate students in universities, harms our economy. A must-read, especially for the feds (whoever is left) making policy decisions.

One of the best interviews about Trudeau’s resignation. Love @gmbutts.bsky.social reference to Shakespeare. Thinking back, the best alums from @uoft.bsky.social Policy School were Humanities graduates!
Trudeau’s stubbornness helped his rise — and his fall, says former advisor

Sheridan College’s Theatre program is renowned for its excellence with alums leading major theatrical productions all over the world. Let’s not wait for a funding solution from either the provincial or federal governments. And start convening on funding options to save this national treasure.
