Peter MacLeod @petermacleod.bsky.social · 22/03/2026It's good news that Canada and the Nordics will start to collaborate more actively... because we have some catching up to do. Not-so-fun fact: In 2015, Canada ranked fifth, comfortably with our peers. Ten years later, we're 25th. If this isn't a call to action, I don't know what is. 021

Peter MacLeod @petermacleod.bsky.social · 25/03/2025Greenlanders and Danes are rightfully furious and on edge. Every EU ambassador to DK— as well as Canada’s — should join the GL & DK PMs in solidarity to greet the Vances on the tarmac and witness this thuggish act of aggression. 092
Peter MacLeod @petermacleod.bsky.social · 14/01/2025Well, at long last I’m headed to see @healey.bsky.social ‘s Master Plan. I worked with Sidewalk from the early days. I saw much of the saga up close and will always defend their team as amongst the smartest, most creative, and public-spirited people I’ve had the fortune to know. 110
Peter MacLeod @petermacleod.bsky.social · 21/11/2024It's official... Richard and I will be publishing our first book this fall. It's called "Democracy's Second Act" because while it can sometimes feel as though democracy has no future, we’re going to show you that it does — only it might look a bit different than you think. 3103
