Thank you for everyone's contributions, involvement, and work, and hope that the report helps makes things better for the Government of Canada's public servants if/when such situations arise!

[Basil Alexander @basilalexander]

Glad that our federal task force's report re: "Strengthening [Federal] Whistleblowing Protection" recently became public, which involved lots of listening, reflection, thought, and discussion.

To get a sense of some of the issues, check out my in-house counsel chapter in Lawyers' Ethics and Professional Regulation (both the current 4th and forthcoming 5th editions) (https://t.co/GPeB40KVeN).

So I’m getting the @UNB-wide teaching award at Fall Convocation tomorrow - yay! 🥳It's a pretty big deal since there are a maximum of two recipients per year, and I’ve only been here since 2019.

[UNB @UNB]

We had the privilege of welcoming Chief Justice Richard to @UNBLaw yesterday. He gave a very engaging talk on appellate advocacy; a big boost for our 1L @UNBLawStudents as they prepare for their compulsory moot. Thanks to Profs. @basilalexander and @MayaHamou for organizing!

[Basil Alexander @basilalexander]

Looking forward to seeing it as a whole when done! 😎

It's been great working with @richard__moon and @KerriFroc as coeditors on this project. The workshop was terrific, with deep discussions and lots of food for thought.

[Basil Alexander @basilalexander]

My add for this today will be "Taking Peaceful Assembly (2(c)) for Granted: Its Surprising Underdevelopment So Far and Contributing Factors to Overcome", which builds on some of my past peaceful assembly work. Looking forward to others' thoughts and how our work interacts!

[Howie Kislowicz @HowieKislowicz]

Tomorrow, a group of us will gather for a workshop called The Surprising Constitution, thinking about ways in which the Const Act, 1982 has been, or will be, surprising. Thanks to @KerriFroc and @richard__moon for organizing with me.

Late thanks to @cbanb_abcnb's Council for having me discuss last Thurs "Modern Ethical Concerns: Broader Considerations & Approaches for 21st Cent. Professionalism"! Hope it was interesting/useful to hear what I'm doing with @UNBLaw students & how that may be relevant elsewhere!
