Canada's higher-courts judicial appointments system was intentionally built in the 1860s to keep magistrates isolated from local politicians' short term interests.
It works very well by any measure, as is. Don't Americanise it.

Rather than comment current events, I'm posting an fuzzy picture of a black squirrel in a bird feeder enjoying the view of ice breaking up on the St. Lawrence. That's all.

My latest in @theglobeandmail.com. Canada is *the* hub of illegal eel trade in this hemisphere, impacting conservation, communities and the economy.
At the #CITES CoP20 next month, the world has the opportunity to close loopholes exploited by criminals.

Environmental crime poses existential threats. Will the G7 (continue to) lead the fight against it?
Building the * 🇨🇦 Enviro Crime Research Network* is full steam ahead. Our recent Symposium brough together over 100 people to learn and share. Our members' workshop helped lay the foundation for future collaboration. Interested? Let me know!
Environmental #crime impacts us all. In a changing world, what are its impacts on #people? On the #economy? On #ecosystems and species? On officers, stakeholders and defenders? On policy & policy gaps?
Join 8 and 9 May, as experts from across Canada and around the globe explore issue of our time.
