Great start working towards my yearly distance goal. Crucially, I didn’t overdo it, but enjoyed my running and felt good doing it. Onto the next month! #running #runchat #strava

I love sports and I am a big believer in the power of sport. But this is where we see the toxicity of sport and it is truly corrosive. Sporting success cannot be a substitute for national identity, especially when our conception of success is only relative to our southern neighbour.

3. BC history is Black. Before BC formally existed, there were the Victoria Pioneer Rifle Corps (aka "African Rifles"), the first military unit in the region's history. The fact that Black people are taught as a footnote of a footnote in BC history speaks to the pervasive desire for a white Canada.

Book #4

This is a phenomenal piece of historical analysis that draws from the writings of people involved in the making of BC in the 19th century. As a life-long British Colombian, I have a couple of takeaways on the theme of “this is who we are”… 🧵

Book #3

There’s so much to unpack about this. One thing that sticks with me is the different ways in which @zeets.bsky.social captures the physical manifestation of the pain of migration and being othered; both within the family unit and society as a whole.

Book 2 ☑️📚
Jim Shepard’s narrators end up in the worst possible situations — due to their own inadequacies and reasons outside of their control — but rather than being angry, they simply sit in their pain. They are not ‘flashy’, like many (anti-)heroes, but they more closely represent all of us.

Book #1 of 2026
Whew... will need some time to process this one. Not an easy read but well worth it, as it's generating a flood of my own questions around deconstructing systems of power, not only as they relate to young people, but to all of us. Thank you @lalouverouge.bsky.social #booksky

For the first time since 2023, I'm setting a yearly distance goal. Although I am not quite where I want to be physically, I am feeling better than I have in years, which is making me excited to work towards 1200km for the year. #running #runchat #strava

Book 21 📚 This book should be on the shelf of every British Columbian. A collection of 30 phenomenal pieces from @thetyee.ca writers over the last decade+ that really capture the diversity of this province. Support local journalism and read local books!

Man I can’t believe they banned these people from traveling to the UK 🙄
Seems to be a crossover between violent aggressive regimes and violent aggressive fans (see Russia at Euro 2016)

No matter which party is in government, they will take every opportunity to run roughshod over Section 2(d) of the Charter. You have the right to form a union and to strike, except when it's inconvenient, in which case, get your ass back to work.

This country is so hostile to labour rights #cdnpoli

Great week in Calgary with our #officials at the National High Performance Selection Camp and the coaches that will support the program over the next few years.

If you don’t have a city from the Maritimes, your understanding of this country is missing something fundamental.

This is a minor detail in the larger story, but it is not insignificant: under the current circumstances, there should not be American military aircraft in Canadian airspace for any reason #cdnpoli

Book 11 ☑️

This #book is a tapestry that represents a small but significant set of experiences during an impactful moment in #Canadian history. It is a fitting tribute to the incredibly-accomplished individuals who freely gave their time and expertise when Canadians needed it.

Book 12 ☑️

I like what this says about our relationship with animals: cats are their own beings (esp rescues) with their own desires and feelings. But we project onto them and convince ourselves that we are in charge, when really the cat (or fate) decides when the relationship begins and ends.

Honored and excited to be giving two presentations at this year’s Hockey Conference later this month. The first is based on my masters research into referee decision-making and the second is on a new project to improve officials’ experience thru education on pregnancy and return-to-sport.
