Spent Saturday with President Obama and New York's Cutest — turns out my first name is Mayor and I need to be doing more squats.  Here’s to building a City where families can thrive and every classroom is full of this much joy.

I ran against Jenica Atwin in the 2021 federal election. We debated each other on several occasions. I was impressed by her depth of knowledge and commitment to public service. I'm supporting her mayoral campaign. She has the vision and experience we need to take Fredericton forward.

@nichecanada.bsky.social has just published my "5 minute read" about the reduction/closure of #ParksCanada library services. Take a look. #envhist #cdnhist niche-canada.org/2026/03/16/i...

If Parks Canada's Library Goes Quiet
Parks Canada’s library closure reflects long institutional decline, threatening internal knowledge, research capacity, and the agency’s ability to document environmental change.
