@mobinfiltrator Philosophy because it requires a lot of reading difficult texts and logical reasoning. Political science, history and economics are good too for the reading volume & research skills. The profs in these programs are exceptional:

@second_sailing That is a huge loss for @stugreatbooks @StThomasU. Penny is a fantastic administrator. I had to get her to put more than one late assignment in the mailboxes over the years! I hope you guys have a big send off for her. Such an impactful career and ambassador for @StThomasU

@JefferyPetts @GeoffRuss3 Highly recommend @BenWoodfinden and & @Sean_Speer’s chapter “Canadian conservativism and national developmentism” in the edited volume Canadian conservative political thought (2023) on the SJA part of this debate.

@ConnorMEwing In this house we listen to @ConnorMEwing about public law

[Matt Dinan @second_sailing]

It’s called @StThomasU, and it’s cheap and it’s in Canada.

@modus_pwnenz @howardanglin @colbycosh And a lot of this for their internal politics as well. I think Smith, like Bourassa, needs pursue reforms that seek autonomy short of separation.

[Mark Harding @Mark_S_Harding]

This is an interesting article in Policy Options by @charlesbreton on the debate over provincial influence in judicial appointments, focusing on Quebec and Alberta. In my third-year course on federalism🧵

[Mark Harding @Mark_S_Harding]

@modus_pwnenz @howardanglin @colbycosh Fair. But I think it’s appropriate for individual provinces to advocate for constitutional change. Ideally, that happens through constitutional means.

[Mark Harding @Mark_S_Harding]

In that sense, the article unintentionally illustrates the kind of double standard Alberta often faces in Canadian constitutional discourse. @howardanglin @colbycosh
