Exciting that the call is out for the 2026 annual CPSA conference, hosted by our friends at the University of Ottawa, June 2-4. As a reminder, this is a stand-alone conference after the cancellation of Congress 2026. Congrats to everyone for making this happen. mycpsa-cpsa-acsp.ca/cfp/cfp_index

While I don’t have strong opinions on the House of Plantagenet, it pleases me that the Richard III Society of Canada ran this ad in today’s Globe and Mail, as they have every August 22 since 1966. @richardiiisocca.bsky.social

It was great to attend my 30th straight Canadian Political Science Association annual conference last week and deliver my presidential address. I was especially happy to be unconventionally introduced by @mcloutier.bsky.social with a quiz for the crowd on "how well do you know Malloy and the CPSA?"

When I was CSPG president, my approach to board renewal was looking over the audience at our events and figuring who I might sucker into attending the monthly meetings and heading a committee. This seems much more orderly.
