@EnergyLawProf YAASSSS! In old twitter times this would be a zillion likes I swear

Was inspired to write a little contract law ditty for my students yesterday

Incredible @PaulMcCartney show last night — who else could play his timeless classics for three hours straight

New ⁦⁦@ABlawg⁩ post re Bill C-5 / Building Canada Act. TL/DR - it sure ain’t impact assessment; it’s an unprecedented deregulation move in modern times. Serious risk that ‘move fast and make things’ results in ‘move fast and break things’. ablawg.ca/2025/06/10/bil…

Here's our @Ablawg comment (w @jenniferkoshan @molszyns & @JWatsonHamilton) on the Mathur climate change decision of the Ont CA. The big lesson is that if a govt legislates wrt GHG emissions it must do so in a way that complies with the Charter. 1/2 #ableg

@Aerin_J @molszyns @bramnoble Great little library brewing here, Aerin, even if focus is on this important and sad truth. Add this one to the list (at para 4.50): #hd4i" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">oag-bvg.gc.ca/internet/Engli…

TIER has the potential to attract hundreds of billions of dollars worth of investment to Alberta. Read @emmadizon_'s op-ed on the importance of addressing some big challenges facing Alberta's carbon market. calgaryherald.com/opinion/column…

@rita_rewerts @RandyRisling 💔

@RandyRisling The Park hasn't released a statement this morning but pics & direct info coming out are devastating. Am not posting anymore out of respect for the Jasperites here who are reeling. No, schools, hospital, aquatic centre, businesses & homes. If there's 30% left they're ruined anyway

Came on here looking for legitimate news about the Jasper #abfire only to find useless political mudslinging. Sad on many levels.

@vcasadop @THEFNREL @washburnlaw HUGE congrats! So so so very very very well deserved!!!!

Honored to receive the Clyde O. Martz Teaching award @THEFNREL together with the great Burke Griggs @washburnlaw

Thanks to ⁦@RanjPillai1⁩, the Premier of Yukon, for spending an hour with our students today in our Yukon field course. (How cool is this? At ⁦@UCalgaryLaw⁩, not only do you get to study Indigenous treaties in the Yukon, but you also get to be taught by Premiers!)

@RanjPillai1 Once again, thanks so much for dropping by and sharing your wise perspectives with our class, Mr. Premier!
