Ok @citywaterloo and @CityKitchener, time to do some very basic training with plough drivers. Just witnessed one cut off the @GRT_ROW Ion. Completely ignored the honking and kept going. Could have been very messy.
So pleased to be part of this great initiative!

I hardly know what to say about this book by @jessmcdiarmid. Every page is heartbreaking — but such an important read for Canadians. We must face the systemic issues that have created this horrific situation and the lack of action on implementing inquiry recommendations #mmiwg

Sometimes you have to go to the classics — in the case of the history of education in Canada, back to the 1950s and 1970s — to fully appreciate and understand current ideas #phd #canadianhistory
What a day at the @UniOfYork! Jon took me on a high-energy, incredibly informative tour of his Commercial Services portfolio. I left feeling inspired to implement some new ideas at @UWaterloo. (cc: @WaterlooINT)
