Listen man, I'm an Oilers fan in Edmonton who somehow ended up following you from a hockey pack, and absolutely everything you are saying applies to us up here word-for-word. But we DO have a better TV package. #thoughtsandprayers #oneofuswillbehappyIguess #myheartcanttakethis

Thank you for your response! In my limited perspective on the issue, I've noted a concerning lack of institutional historical perspective among current decision-makers. Hopefully we don't have to repeat the Meech Lake/separatist referenda failures of 30 years ago to relearn the same lessons.

In your eyes, what is the largest and most consequential factor shaping Canadian federal/provincial relationships over the past ten years? And if you put your Nostradamus hat on, what will be the most consequential factor shaping the next ten years?

I reviewed one of these a while ago. There were gaps in the method which I poked at vigorously, but the rest of the paper was solid and the editor approved it. Turns out the gaps disguised a pretty egregious 'I'm selling something' counterfactual that only emerged after publication. #baitandswitch

A really hard-hitting Planet Earth episode.

We've had pretty broad discussions about this across my discipline, as the biggest criminology conferences are all U.S. based. Long story short, it sounds like very few Canadians are willing to travel south, for exactly this reason.

It warms my heart to see conversations from beer league locker rooms make it into The Athletic comments section.

It boggles the mind how Premier Smith can take a harder line stance against the prime minister of her own country than the president of an enemy nation.

If she's unsure who is the bigger threat, her advisors have failed all Albertans miserably.

No, the meeting did not go badly for Ukraine. It exposed in the most undeniable, unequivocal way possible the pro-Putin commitments of the president and vice president. That was information Americans and allies needed to have clear before them.

If I had to bet, I'd guess your holistic explanations of speed limits and traffic law puts you uncomfortably close to Sovereign Citizen ideology. If you find yourself with an unstoppable urge to reference the Magna Carta or naval law, I'd suggest working some simple integers into your worldview.

I can see the speech at the press conference now: "Not one, not two, not three, not four, but seven articles in my first four months on the job!!!! Are you paying attention grad students?!"

To quote a Q&A statement from Keith Hayward at last year's American Society of Criminology: "The worst part of Foucault is the Foucauldians."

He had a few good ideas IMO, but the cult of St. Foucault has gotten more than a little bit out of hand.

Joining the Twitter refugee club over here, and hoping that this can become a space to discuss all things sociology, criminology, and criminal justice.
