We voted 🗳️ (last week) Now our ballots are entrusted to @CanadaPost and @USPS 🤞 #vote #Midterms #AmericansAbroad #votefromabroad

[Cassandra da Costa @CassdaCosta]

#AmericansAbroad should exercise their right to vote! I do appreciate that the Military and Overseas Voter Portal makes it easy to check on our voter registration status, request our absentee ballots, and track whether our ballot was received.

It appears the day of mourning announced earlier today by the Prime Minister is for *federal government employees* - Federal Minister of Labour clarified that it does not (as of now) apply to federally regulated employers. TBA whether provinces and territories announce a holiday.

[Seamus O'Regan Jr @SeamusORegan]

September 19, 2022 will be a holiday for federal government employees. It will be a day of mourning for the passing of Her Majesty Elizabeth II, Queen of Canada.

Federally regulated employers are welcomed to follow suit, but they are not required to do so.

Excellent 🧵 on London as the fasting growing metro area in Ontario (Proud to be part of that 56% of growth from international migration!) #ldnont

The 1st results of Canada’s 2021 census are out this week! Canada had the highest population growth of any G7 country (5.2%). More locally, here are my hot takes w/ @margolis_r for what this means for London, ON, home to @WesternU #ldnont #census2021 @StatCan_eng @WesternuSOC 🧵

I received a lovely response in return, that he remembered me (many) years later, and to reach out if I ever needed anything or visiting the area. It's the connection with others that I've missed most during the pandemic - and sometimes all it takes is reaching out!

[Cassandra da Costa @CassdaCosta]

A bit of gratitude on a rainy Monday - I reached out to a former manager (from my first post-university job!) just to say thanks - the more I work with junior lawyers and staff, the more I appreciate the kindness, patience, and investment others have made in me over the years.
