Parliamentary procedure geek. No partisan debate. Also Star Trek, police procedurals, sci-fi, baseball (Jays), Wrexham AFC, and tennis. I retweet out of interest, not necessarily agreement. Will usually follow-back, but not if you have a blank profile.

Small life update: I’m at the centre of a multimillion dollar lawsuit in Alberta launched by a failed candidate for Jason Kenney’s UCP
It may be the longest and most expensive media trial in Canadian history
