I’m delighted to announce that my new poetry collection, What is Broken Binds Us, will be published on September 15 by University of Calgary Press as part of their ‘Brave & Brilliant’ series.
The Press has done an amazing job of editing, layout and cover design.

Met a lovely American woman and her dog Scout, hiking at Goldstream Falls today. She seemed very happy to be escaping the Thanksgiving ‘stuff’ south of the border. Salmon, bald eagles, cedars and water. Lots to give thanks for.

Something very cool just happened to #Montreal.
Last week I got to ride on the REM line, now fully open from Brossard to Deux-Montagnes.
Automated. Electric. Frequent (2.5 minute headways). Fast (100 km/h plus). Cheap to build. (One tenth the price of other systems)
And really fun to ride...

Young men are particularly at risk from online sports betting
72% of sports betters are men. They bet more often in larger amounts. They're three times as likely to be problem gamblers. They're twice as likely to bet while drunk or high

Public Hearing coming up likely Dec. 1/2- would be great to hear voices that are concerned about the process followed here to speak up. Addressing the false dichotomy between what the mayor proposed and “massive densification” is important. This is not an either/or, and the process is at issue.
