Norm Kelly really doesn't
fit the template of a political social media star, but he might be the best
Twitter account going by a Canadian politics. Here's an article looking at the
unlikely rise of this 73-year-old's account.
Gracen Johnson talks about
the impact of small business on strengthening the urban fabric and
revitalization.
The Atlantic has an
intriguing piece on the evolving sensibilities and sensitivities on university and college campuses and how we got here. The article transgresses the surreal at points. Protecting students may be
cocooning them from reality and interfering with their ability to respond to
real problems thoughtfully.
Add this one to the
collection, a young woman running for the Liberals in Alberta had to apologize
for comments she made on social media. I believe in a later story it was reported she resigned.
A writer at Vok spent some
time with a man who attacks women/feminism on the internet.
Steve Paikin writes about
the tensions at Conservative Party press conferences.
Check out Andrew Coyne's
take on Harper's handling of the Duffy Scandal/Trial.
The other day at dinner my
sister, father and I were able to quote from memory some of the attack lines
against Justin Trudeau as a joke. It suddenly became clear how pervasive that
messaging has been, especially since most of my family isn't political. Susan
Delacourt writes about the impact of this marketing.
Chantal Hebert writes that
the Duffy trial has become a lead balloon to the Conservative activists.
Finally, the New York Times offers a scathing take on our Prime Minister and our election.
I might be using this one
for a piece next week. In May Chuck Marohn of Strong Towns sits down with his
colleague Andrew Burleson to discuss how to manage cities facing a fiscal crisis.
