While I don’t have strong opinions on the House of Plantagenet, it pleases me that the Richard III Society of Canada ran this ad in today’s Globe and Mail, as they have every August 22 since 1966. @richardiiisocca.bsky.social

On a final note, I was also very pleased to welcome our new president, Dr Tamara Small of the University of Guelph. The @cpsa-acsp.bsky.social is in excellent hands under Dr Small's leadership.

My address, "Canadian Institutionalism: Political Science and the Study of Political Institutions in Canada," focused on the "legion of improvers," including myself, that long took a normative view of Canadian political institutions, often embedding ourselves within the state to study the state.

It was great to attend my 30th straight Canadian Political Science Association annual conference last week and deliver my presidential address. I was especially happy to be unconventionally introduced by @mcloutier.bsky.social with a quiz for the crowd on "how well do you know Malloy and the CPSA?"

It's an 18 minute walk from the main CPSA activities at George Brown College's St. James campus. There is both indoor and outdoor space; fingers crossed that the weather allows us to enjoy the latter. All event spaces in the building are fully accessible. (www.tmustudentcentre.ca/conference-s...)

As I prepare to pass on the @cpsa-acsp.bsky.social presidential tankard next week, I thought I’d actually try having a drink from it. Not bad, but the lid gets in the way

Today I concluded my year as @cpsa-acsp.bsky.social president. I’m delighted to be passing the presidential cup to Tamara Small, literally in two weeks at our annual conference.

I'm delighted to see a new book on the Rae government, by @stevenhigh.bsky.social and @btlbooks.com As High observes, the Ontario NDP engages in "selective amnesia" by erasing this period from its history.

Canadian universities look pretty similar across the country, but this illustration by @caut.bsky.social illustrates the profound variation in where they get their money.

This month marks the 90th anniversary of the Canadian Journal of Economics and Political Science (CJEPS). The title reveals how the Canadian Political Science Association, despite its name, was a partnership from the start between the disciplines of political science and economics.

The fancy bathtub in the church was in fact merely expedient for regular all-year production; far better was a truly public event, at a lake or river, evoking THE original act by John the Baptist. Here's a picture of a 1960s baptismal service, led by my great-uncle, Sidney Hoffman.

Yes it’s my favourite design. Though I think one reason for the series’ lack of legacy was the inconsistent cover formatting, even within North America. Top left is one of my UK editions like yours.

Funny how ubiquitous this series was “with readers from America to Finland to Japan” and yet with no lasting cultural impact (though I understand particularly big in Germany). Still got a few and love them.
