Dear friends of political theory, I have a colleague at @mylakehead who altered me to a great opportunity of a TT position with theory with a dash of law (at the Orillia campus). Please circulate! Ad linked below. @second_sailing@GeoffSigalet@RMLLowe@Clif_Clemotte
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:

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🧵
In that sense, the article unintentionally illustrates the kind of double standard Alberta often faces in Canadian constitutional discourse. @howardanglin@colbycosh
That's absolutely right. We have programming that's unique in Canada, and I am so proud of what we've built in Great Books @StThomasU. I hope that @susanholt and the Liberal Government understand the importance of preserving excellent things.
Pleased to have @MLInstitute publish a piece by Dave Snow and me on the courts, the Charter, and centralization. Thanks as well to @CopelanPeter for his support.
