Why yes. I did give a speech in the Senate about the joy of sex. A speech about sex and libraries, and the dangers of trying to censor what our teens can read and watch and do online. In a world full of digital risk, we need to teach our kids media literacy, and sexual literacy too. https://youtu.be/mEsf_qQzvpg?si=dCTTLIW5dBDjanVs #ableg #abpoli #Bill28 #porn #bookbans #cdnpoli #BillS209 #SenateofCanada #AI

On NYE, as I look back at 2024, I want to share three Senate reports, of which I am quite proud. The first is Critical Ground, the major two-year study carried out by the Standing Senate Committee on Agriculture and Forestry - a comprehensive look at soil health in Canada & a call to action to protect our farm soil & native grasslands, not just for food production, but for climate change mitigation. https://sencanada.ca/en/info-page/parl-44-1/agfo-critical-ground/ #SenateofCanada #soil #soilhealth #climatechange #soilorganiccarbon

I sometimes post links to Senate speeches, as well as links to my podcast, #AlbertaUnbound. I chitter chatter about everything from soil health to wildfires, communications policy, transportation policy, and legal and constitutional affairs. There are also occasional photos of my dog. #introduction #WelcometoMastodon #SenateofCanada #Canada #yeg #Edmonton #cdnpoli #soil #wildfires

On Thursday April 18, I had the chance to follow up on this question, during a meeting of the Standing Senate Committee on Agriculture and Forestry, as we held hearings as part of our new study on wildfires in Canada. Here's that exchange. https://youtu.be/OXQEXdt-oPo?si=MZeYE6LsgdyWpK6j #SenateofCanada #wildfires #Alberta #FoxLake #AGFO #LittleRedRiverCreeNation #ISC #PeaceRiver #BCHydro

I spent my afternoon at West Haven School in Leduc, speaking to Grade 9 students about the history and role of the Senate. At the end of our conversation, one of the bigger, tougher looking boys asked me for a hug. I think he may have been taking the mickey - but I hugged him anyway. Next thing I knew, a whole bunch of them asked for hugs! So hugs they got. A reminder that even the gruffest looking teens need a little hug now and then. #Alberta #Leduc #BlackGold #SenateofCanada
