So grateful for this support!

I love teaching this class of 12-15 ambitious and bright 4th year students and am super stoked to make the course even better for this fall!

Thinking of joining the Liberal party so that I can have a say in who their next leader will be ... Thoughts?

Thanks for the sacrifices @JustinTrudeau I defs would not have wanted that job especially during COVID!!! #CanadaPolitics

[Mark Carney @MarkJCarney]

Thank you Prime Minister @JustinTrudeau for your leadership, for your many contributions to Canada, and for the sacrifices you and your family have made for public service. 

Wishing you the best for your next chapters.

Improving food systems by supporting small-scale farmers to make a living.

Making it easier for farms to offer farm and winery tours, petting zoos, 'pick-your-own' experiences, bed and breakfasts, animal riding ...

Great job @Rae_Matt !

🚨Breaking news! 📰

My Private Members Bill, the Growing Agritourism Act, passed third and final reading. Meaning it will become law in the coming days!

This is the first legislation of its kind in Canada, to support our agritourism operators. Ontario is leading the country.

Thank you Agritourism Ontario, @OntarioFarms, @TIAOtweets, Ontario Apple Growers, @PerthCounty, @PerthCountyAg, and @WellFedAg for their support throughout the process.

As a practicing digital anthropologist, this chart still fascinates me.

We all know that the iPhone changed how people live, work, and shop. It also affected gum sales. 📱

Supermarket checkout lines were strategically stocked with gum, candy, and magazines to capture shopper attention as they waited to pay. With an iPhone, customers were focused on their screen instead.⁠

Scenario planning helps businesses consider likely effects of emergent trends and shifts. This one would have been interesting to have tracked ahead of disruption.

[Angela Merriam @A_Merriam]

Excited to see @cafreeland accept different governance structures

And why must we give up hope for #winwin solutions with emerging regimes eg #China?

Engaging and connecting with people is the key to good climate communications: well done @NicBadullovich on a fabulous paper in @Env_Pol

[Angela Merriam @A_Merriam]

I'm exploring how to improve social dialogue and the 'everyday politics' of energy transitions for an ANU seminar this Wed 8.30pm EST

[ANU Crawford School of Public Policy @ANUCrawford]

How can constructive social dialogue influence ‘everyday politics?’

Join @CrawfordREAD as @a_merriam asks how this can be done in the context of energy transitions.

I'm finally reading #COP26 Just Transition Declaration.

Seems a little lost in media coverage. But seems to me a huge step forward for the #justtransition movement!

https://t.co/agbBwah7kR

[Angela Merriam @A_Merriam]

And ... does #COP26 statement about supporting #socialdialogue through funding 'capacity building' programs mean someone might give me more money to expand this program to Canada?!

How exciting! #dogood #change #JustTransitionPlatform

[Angela Merriam @A_Merriam]

What a privilege to have led the co-design and facilitation of this innovative project for #socialdialogue on #justtransition in #Australia

https://t.co/VcTnXEljVF

[Angela Merriam @A_Merriam]

Excited about the prominence of #socialdialogue for #justtransition from #COP26

Especially the commitment to potentially FUND it's strengthening through 'capacity building'

[Pat Simons @prrsimons]

Looking forward to hosting this webinar on Monday featuring Erin Coldham from #StarOfTheSouth @dylanjmcconnell & @WendyFarmer_ about taking Vic all the way to 100% Renewables

Victoria is already a leader on wind + solar. The climate crisis means ramping up ambition #100REInquiry

[Angela Merriam @A_Merriam]

Already feeling proud of my new home QC #cdnpolitics #cop26 #qcpoli

(I've recently become a resident here, landed just outside of Ottawa a couple weeks ago <3)

[Catherine Abreu @catabreu_]

This is HUGE. Round of applause in the Quebec National Assembly as the province makes history by declaring the end of fossil fuel extraction on its territory. 👏🏽👏🏽

[Farmers for Climate Action @farmingforever]

Now is the time to send a strong message to our federal leaders that farmers want meaningful action on climate change.

That's why we're asking farmers to take a selfie saying why they support climate action and then post it to social media with the hashtag #farmingforever.

Why do I trust people more after seeing them dance?! #canadavotes @theJagmeetSingh
