The law reports are full of untold stories and hidden lives. This is a particularly poignant one, well told by @yuanyi_z https://t.co/eGCZ9Jcocf

@moirarvane My deepest condolences to you, your mom and your sister.

[Sheila MacPherson @sheilamacp]

@moirarvane Moira, I have many fond memories of my time with your father. He was a loyal and generous friend to me, often tossing out the occasional expletive, and I valued the work I did for him. I'll reach out to you for his email address so that I can tell him that directly.

[John Hale @JohnHaleCrimLaw]

Amazing opportunity for #lawtwitter - there is at least one position open at the Legal Aid Commission in Yellowknife. This is not duty counsel work like in Ontario. You will be doing trials, including jury trials, in Yellowknife and remote communities. https://t.co/NNqj1lyejH

[Sheila MacPherson @sheilamacp]

@conwayllpsrl Congratulations Alyssa!

[Sheila MacPherson @sheilamacp]

@Megan_Holsapple I know. I don’t know NWT’s experience with the new order making power but it will be interesting to see. I would like to think that it will not be the same.

[Sheila MacPherson @sheilamacp]

Interesting take on Canada’s Information Commissioner’s order making power.

[Dean Beeby @DeanBeeby]

A new blog from me: There's disturbing evidence that the Information Commissioner's new order-making power is a sham. https://t.co/BmwyuFXfsV #cdnfoi #cdnpoli

[Sheila MacPherson @sheilamacp]

Great news. Doesn’t deal with the national shortage of paediatric ICU beds, but it is good to know that Nunavut has access to this valuable resource. Manitoba reverses policy on ICU care for Nunavut children. https://t.co/gMh3d0WlsH

[Sheila MacPherson @sheilamacp]

@ShiriMacpherson Adults often don’t listen to kids. Kudos to you for speaking out and advocating for other kids.

[Sheila MacPherson @sheilamacp]

@Megan_Holsapple @OurYellowknife Me. I guess they will all be announced at once?

[Sheila MacPherson @sheilamacp]

@moirarvane Moira, my condolences to your dad. I remember his story of escape well.

[Sheila MacPherson @sheilamacp]

@moirarvane Congratulations Moira! So well deserved.
