Had a great time presenting @PrairieSci this weekend on how different types of premier leadership are influenced by/influence different types of trust and how caucus trust is impacted.

One day you’re young and wild; the next, it’s Tuesday, and you’re dialing into a team's call.

It was a great conversation and I left with some great food for thought on the regulatory challenges facing the sector. Now to put the thinking cap on…😉
Alberta is ready to lead the blockchain revolution.
Today I joined the Canadian Blockchain Consortium @Blockchain_CBC a national force behind Canada’s digital asset and blockchain ecosystem, to talk about why Alberta is the place to build, mine, and grow.
With our tech talent, low taxes, and deregulated energy grid that’s tailor made for crypto mining, Alberta is already ahead. We’re cutting red tape, building the roadmap, and offering space for innovators to thrive.
Thanks to the Consortium and Minister Dale Nally @DaleNally_AB and Nate Glubish @nateglubish for helping put Alberta at the forefront of this exciting future.
I love this so so much and it is particularly important post-COVID. We know from our own research on youth talent attraction/retention, we need to rebuild/rethink how to connect youth with community. Digital apps which intersect with real communities are a fantastic tool!
A group of young Edmontonians, including University of Alberta students and alumni, have created an online tool for youth civic engagement through the Apathy is Boring RISE program.

Thank you to @CanadaWestFdn and @UCalgary for hosting this important conversation.
Very informative video for those who don’t spend their time looking at supply chains and logistic to understand how the coming weeks/months will unfold as we start to see tariff effects hit U.S. ports and ripple out to workers, retailers and consumers.

BC wineries can now sell directly to customers in Alberta. Knocking down internal trade barriers is one of the ways we're strengthening and diversifying the province's economy in the face of unjust tariff threats from Donald Trump. Explore and Buy BC: hellobc.com/things-to-do/win…

Gary Mar and @DadeCWF in Washington for inaugural events. CWF has published extensively on Trump, trade and tariffs (cwf.ca). Watch for our next What Now? policy paper: Trump's tariffs - What's signal and what's noise. Out this week.
Not a surprise to see Winnipeg so high from all the work we’ve been doing in Manitoba on talent attraction and retention. I am surprised to see Edmonton stay the same and not come up when you think of economic factors. Check out the report -cwf.ca/research/publications…
Edmonton finishes 27th again on an updated list of Canada's most liveable cities.
By contrast, Winnipeg is 4, Calgary 7, and Toronto 82. #yeg #yyc

A milestone worth celebrating: 49 women are set to serve in the #BCLeg 43rd Parliament, marking the first time in BC's history that more women than men will take their seat in the Legislative Chamber (also a first for a Canadian provincial legislature) #WomensHistoryMonth #BCpoli
Seems a little timely that my Master’s project is finally published…while focused on trust in provincial there is some federal application #cdnpoli dtpr.lib.athabascau.ca/actio…
