Am very much looking forward to interviewing our former ambassador to the US, Frank McKenna, in Nova Scotia this weekend, plus @stfxuniversity chancellor Mila Mulroney too. It will be a future episode of @ThePaikinPod
Thanks to St.F.X for hosting @CurseOfPolitics last night. Former PM Mulroney would have smiled to see the crew at @MulroneyInst. I don’t do politics anymore but now and then it’s fun to see those who do, and do it so well. Well done David, Scott, Jordan and home boy Fred.
🤬🗳️ Live from @MulroneyInst at @stfxuniversity: Project Hail Mary!

StFX has the #1 reputation in Canada!!
Maclean’s released their 2026 University Rankings and StFX finished #1 in reputation within the undergraduate category. StFX definitely employs the right model of education -- the best way to learn. Apparently others think so too.

Campus infrastructure is community infrastructure.
From #health clinics to #transit hubs to #housing, the spaces on Canada’s university campuses serve far beyond students, they support entire communities.
Let’s treat them like the nation-building asset they are.

Train the talent.
Build the infrastructure.
Boost research and innovation.
Universities are already delivering. Let’s back them.
