Pope Leo: "I have no fear, neither of the Trump administration nor speaking out loudly about the message of the gospel."
I ran against Jenica Atwin in the 2021 federal election. We debated each other on several occasions. I was impressed by her depth of knowledge and commitment to public service. I'm supporting her mayoral campaign. She has the vision and experience we need to take Fredericton forward.
I had a wonderful time talking to @adodek.bsky.social about his new book! You can listen to the Witness to Yesterday episode here: champlainsociety.utppublishing.com/digital-cont...

@nichecanada.bsky.social has just published my "5 minute read" about the reduction/closure of #ParksCanada library services. Take a look. #envhist #cdnhist niche-canada.org/2026/03/16/i...
If Parks Canada's Library Goes Quiet
Parks Canada’s library closure reflects long institutional decline, threatening internal knowledge, research capacity, and the agency’s ability to document environmental change.

Tina Loo@lootina.bsky.social · 5mo agoHey #envhist! Parks Canada is ending its library services+ “decommissioning” its collection.
