@YaroslavB I am so sorry Yaroslav. You and your family are in our prayers

[Paul EJ Thomas @pejthomas]

@Ester__Island Good use of the word "inscrutable"

[Paul EJ Thomas @pejthomas]

Without wanting to get into the substance of what is happening, is there any precedent anywhere in the world of a Finance Minister in a parliamentary system resigning on the day of a major economic statement? https://t.co/vlCistJAxH

@DanielGover I already have the matching socks...

[Paul EJ Thomas @pejthomas]

Astonished by the collapse of BC United. #BCpoli's political system first polarized into the CCF/NDP vs a centre-right coalition in the 1940s, but to go from official opposition to unilaterally standing down just before an elxn is unprecedented https://t.co/yqnYTyWdcO

Today I learned: There’s a French-language kid’s book about visiting the Parliament Hill cat colony.

@smokeycross2000 Congratulations Bill!

[Daniel Gover @DanielGover]

This bulletin (I think a new initiative?) is really excellent on what to look out for in parliament over the coming week.

[Paul EJ Thomas @pejthomas]

@RoboRobbins My current dream would be for the city to ban access to Lansdowne from bank on game day and force everyone to come into Lansdowne by Queen Elizabeth. Hopefully that would speed up the buses enough that more people would take them...

[Daniel Gover @DanielGover]

Great thread on what happens when new MPs arrive in Westminster.

[Paul EJ Thomas @pejthomas]

@BYMYong Well now you'll just have to visit Ottawa some other time...

[Paul EJ Thomas @pejthomas]

So freaking proud of the @PIP_PSP interns who presented their research projects today at the Congress of Humanities and Social Sciences

A big thanks tobthe good citizen who answered my prayer and turned my wallet into @OC_Transpo with all credit cards and ID still present

[Paul EJ Thomas @pejthomas]

2/ Thanks to everyone at the House and uOttawa who helped make this happen, and to the alumni, sponsors, and partners for their support of the Programme through this process. I'm excited to see what the future will bring!

[Paul EJ Thomas @pejthomas]

1/ A big day in @PIP_PSP history! After a Call for Interest, the @OurCommons selected @UOttawaPoliSci to take over from @cpsa_acsp as the PIP host starting 1 July 2025. This will bring new support to the Interns while maintaining PIP as #CdnPoli's premier legislative internship

@BCRobyn I'm so sorry Robyn. It's been quite surreal. I can't claim we were very close, but Tom always seemed ready to listen. I hope you're doing ok.

[Paul EJ Thomas @pejthomas]

Incredibly proud of 2023-24 @PIP_PSP intern @cynthiachuo who will be starting her PhD at @PUPolitics next fall. I can't wait to see what she'll accomplish, and to have her back to speak to future cohorts
