I’m hoping every Canadian will take a break from their Boxing Day shopping today and read this great op-ed by @MHallFindlay, which documents the troubling rise of political interference in regulatory processes, both in the telecom and energy industries. https://t.co/giEhJFRAh5

I hope no Canadian government ever defunds CBC. What CBC needs, IMO, is the opposite: assured funding plus governance reform that assures independence, balance and distance from financial dependency on the government of the day. It needs to become more like the BBC, NPR, TVO.
The first day of winter has arrived! For many of us who live in the Great White North, the #WinterSolstice is arguably one of the best times of the year. Here’s to longer days ahead!
Apoorv Sinha, founder and CEO of @CarbonUpcycling, was selected to the #Energy category of the 2020 @Forbes 30 Under 30 list. Congratulations, Apoorv. Well deserved. #30under30 https://t.co/7g3sORYaVt
It's not often that I am speechless (!) Sad to leave such a great group of people - now family. But only 'work' leave. And it's only 4 or 5 blocks away 😊@CanadaWestFdn
Already getting a little misty starting my last day working w/ @MHallFindlay at CWF. What a privilege it's been to have worked with – and learned so much from – such a strong, fearless, brilliant (oh, and fun and funny!) leader – who is only going to continue to change the world!
sorry... what was that? I missed what you said: I was busy with my two jobs, running a national charity and hanging up my law degree. Also, I ain't running for anything.
@AdamScottEnv@CanadaWestFdn@SylviaStead Hmm, you must have missed the line "We at the Canada West Foundation have, in fact, supported its stated intentions – including better environmental protections and respect for Indigenous rights when planning and building any new major infrastructure."
Happy to announce that I am a recipient of a @SSHRC_CRSH & @iaac_aeic knowledge synthesis grant to study public-interest determination in environmental decision-making in Canada. And excited to see what other recipients find! https://t.co/ULBz0ctzuo
Congratulations to @MHallFindlay on her new role as @Suncor's Chief Sustainability Officer and Senior VP. Her work at @CanadaWestFdn was impressive and important; hope she'll remain engaged in strong policy discussion and development. https://t.co/jNwsNz3bV6
