This is fantastic news for Ottawa’s legal community, in both official languages. It’s been my honour to work alongside @anneslevesque for the last 9 years as counsel to @FNcaringsociety, at the CHRT, FC, and SCC. So glad to see this well-deserved recognition. Félicitations!
Congratulations to Prof. @anneslevesque on her promotion to Associate Professor! Her research focuses on #HumanRights litigation. As founding Director @PPD_uOttawa, she helped create an innovative #ExperientialTraining program for law grads. We wish her continued success!

I keep seeing people use the term "divided" regarding COVID vaccines. It's not true. 90% of British Columbians (12+) have 2+ vaccines. Double vaccination has an approval rate that kittens would envy. It may be one of the least divisive topics in our society.

I have had the privilege of practicing with @msandilands in one form or another for most of the last 5.5 years. She is a dedicated advocate, a reliable colleague, an excellent friend and a skilled curler. Happy to add trusted partner to the list!
New partner alert!! Thrilled to announce that @msandilands has joined our partnership, effective Jan 1. Since joining us in 2019, Marion has demonstrated her skills as a dedicated advocate, practicing in public law and appellant advocacy. Welcome aboard!

Just posted! Factums on Canada's appeals to overturn two CHRT orders requiring the feds to: 1) compensate child and family victims of Canada's discrimination & 2) ensure non-status First Nations kids off reserve have access to Jordan's Principle. Read: b.link/x5nw2h

Census responses, taken literally: My one year-old speaks neither English nor French well enough to have a conversation, but French is the language she speaks most often at home #Census2021

Helpful table from @TorontoStar of postal codes with priority COVID-19 vaccine access for Ontarians 18+: tinyurl.com/286tvkwc
That’s 1,477,235 vaccine doses NOT administered. Ontario vaccinated at total of 52,452 people yesterday. Honestly, what am I missing?
Replying to @PattyHajdu
In Ontario, we’ve provided 4,022,875 vaccines and they have administered 2,545,640 doses across the province. Learn more about Ontario’s vaccination rollout here: covid-19.ontario.ca/covid-19…

Serena Williams has won 23 grand slam titles, one of them while pregnant.
so Jordan has 6 rings, and Brady has 7 rings. is it now safe to say that Brady is the GOAT of all GOATS?
