Does this sound like you? I’m happy to be serving on Brock’s search committee for this position.

What @bowlesian.bsky.social said!

It was a great event earlier this month at Pride Niagara’s Unity Awards dinner. Kathie and I were pleased to attend. Happy Pride 🏳️‍🌈

Special congratulations are due to Dr. Rakha Zabin who received a Brock University Board of Trustees’ “Spirit of Brock” Medal at this morning’s Convocation. Rakha’s a compassionate and dedicated educator, mentor and leader. I was pleased to make the presentation.

Happy Pride Month! 🏳️‍🌈

I’m very much looking forward to volunteering at this event! #Niagara2025

Congratulations to all involved in the restoration and installation of the totem in the Walker Sports and Abilities Centre at Canada Games Park at Brock University. Formerly in Centennial (now Pierpont) Park in St. Catharines, it now has a new home.

GOTV this morning for @chrisbittle.bsky.social and Mark Carney with Dave and Jan Thomas.

Two more in the box for Mark Carney and @chrisbittle.bsky.social! @katekw.bsky.social and I voted today.

Hi @rachelgilmore.bsky.social! The reporter is Bill Sawchuk, a great journalist with the St. Catharines Standard. You’ll notice Poilievre doesn’t actually answer Bill’s question.

This is pretty rich coming from Preston Manning, who did more than most to endanger Canadian Unity.

I’m relieved the Conservative Party of Canada is addressing the very important issue in this federal election.

Kale never rests as he sniffs out support for @chrisbittle.bsky.social in the upcoming federal election.

It was a great open house at the campaign office for @chrisbittle.bsky.social last night. There’s lots of hard work ahead but Chris has a fantastic team.

This morning I had a great coffee catch up with Anusha Pahuja, President of the @brockuniversity.bsky.social Students’ Union. She’s a colleague on the University’s Board of Trustees and was updating me on the student union’s future plans, plus hers as she graduates this spring.

@katekw.bsky.social and I are lending our front lawn to @chrisbittle.bsky.social for the election campaign. He’s a good friend and has been a wonderful MP for St. Catharines.

Well worth considering. And, in my opinion, another reason why in the upcoming Canadian election we can’t deliver the keys to government to a rage farmer who won’t get his security clearance.

I’d join, my age notwithstanding.

A nice hint of spring at the Martindale Road St. Catharines fire station today.

Update: Kathie and I have now now booked an August trip with Frontiers North to Winnipeg, Riding Mountain National Park and Churchill Manitoba 🇨🇦

Kale’s enjoying the subtle hint of Spring this afternoon. 🌞

“Give us a call when the fever ends, You used to be the best of friends, We used to be the best of friends…” The great Jim Cuddy has written a song for this moment.

My wife Kathie and I did our bit to push back against the US administration yesterday. We cancelled a Princess cruise we had planned for September. We’ll take a vacation to Canadian destinations this year. 🇨🇦

Further news. It reopens today.

Appalling.

Now, more than ever, it’s time to take our flag back 🇨🇦

Here’s in interesting column by a US journalist inserting some realism to the Trumpian Canada 51st state musings 🇨🇦

Kale wishes all his fans a Happy Valentine’s Day ❤️

Who stands with 🇨🇦?

80 years have passed since the liberation of Auschwitz. Anti-semitism has only one side.

Disgraceful action by some Republican members of the US House of Representatives.

❤️Courageous Bishop.

Kathie and I enjoyed Brock University’s “Paint the Town Red” at St. Catharines’s Meridian Centre tonight. Here are some pics from tonight’s game, won by Brock over McMaster 92-85.

I’m proud to be a member of the Board of Trustees of Brock University. Here’s a very thoughtful article by Professor Blayne Haggart on lessons we can learn with the Canada-US relationship set to change under Trump.

Many of course will be peeing on Justin Trudeau’s political grave right now but, in my experience, within a few years many more will be, figuratively anyway, laying rose petals at his feet.

Trump’s going to establish a new Guilded Age, like in the late 19th, early 20th centuries, where the rich get richer, while Democrats are being gaslighted for ignoring the “kitchen table issues” of working classes.

Lord Haw Haw

What a great show this afternoon at the Meridian Centre in St. Catharines..”OVO” from CirqueDuSoleil.

Here’s a great and thoughtful interview with Brock University’s President Lesley Rigg.

Kale broke in his new coat on the Green Ribbon Trail this afternoon.

Trump wants to abolish Daylight Saving Time? I’ve found his champion in Congress.

Jackass 🇨🇦

I’ve said this at the “other place”. Re: the US election everyone’s become an expert after it.

An update on Great Lakes levels.

Interesting thoughts here for Canadians to consider.

Please note. In the US the Republicans have to defend 20 Senate seats in 2026.

Thanks to the Political Science department at Brock University in St. Catharines ON 🇨🇦 for arranging a great session this afternoon on “Unpacking the United States Authoritarian Turn”, in light of Donald Trump’s election.

Lakeside Park beach in St. Catharines ON 🇨🇦 this morning. I don’t think I’ve seen Lake Ontario levels this low in 20 years. It’s a far cry from 2019 and especially 2017 when these volleyball courts, and much of the park and its parking lot were under water.

Joe and Mika did what??!!
