This is great work and an insightful way of thinking about federal dynamics.
🚨 New paper out with Chris Alcantara (@westernuPoliSci) and @cynthiachuo in Publius: The Journal of Federalism: academic.oup.com/publius/adv… We use different machine-learning techniques to measure policy diffusion regarding cannabis legislations in Canada. Check it out!

Now in @apsrjournal: in a study of >800 politicians in four countries led by @jbpilet, we find that politicians massively overestimate how conservative citizens are, on a long list of policy issues. /1

Nice work. Local context matters!
Great to see this article in print @Pol_Geog_Jl (with @lucasjacklucas), on how place resentment varies across urban, suburban, and rural places in Canada
Of course, Nova Scotians may demur lt.gov.ns.ca/news-events/202…
Or, in this great piece by John Ralston Saul, when Canada acquired responsible government in 1848? 3/3

2/ David Smith was a remarkable man of letters gifted with a synthetic intellect able to draw diverse threads together to fashion cohesive accounts of major political phenomena.
Anthony Sayers retweeted
3/ He was also one of the most congenial colleagues one could hope to encounter in the academy and spend time with socially. A rare thing, I saw him successfully incorporate the insights of a major novelist—Henry Miller—into a professional political science presentation.
Anthony Sayers retweeted
4/ Whether directed at political parties, parliaments, constitutions or provincial political culture, his thoughtful gaze deeply enriched our understanding of Canadian politics. Political science is the poorer for his passing.

Prosecution power under the Canadian Constitution is more complex than many commentators realise. Check out this fantastic paper by Dennis Baker for insights into the debates we're seeing now in Alberta: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.…
Why do politicians herd around some policies?
