AcadiaU President

The best senior leadership team in Higher Ed! #gratefulformyteam

A monumental and joyful day for @AcadiaU! Thank you @dbdli for your leadership and support!

Very generous of the Honourable Bill Morneau to give so much of his time to us today at @AcadiaU!

In the small space available where I’m not President-ing, I am still Musicking! This will be a fun one to play.

Started my day at Kinder Skills class with @AshleeCunsolo at the @AcadiaU athletic complex and was reminded of some great life lessons: Be kind to each other Share your toys Give space to others Pick each other up if someone falls Have a snack when you’re cranky

@therealLJA Ahh. My wife also went through the “mega.” Charming place. 😆 My dad was the base dental officer at CFB Cornwallis in the late 80s and early 90s.

@AcadiaUPres No, we graduated from St. Jean-sur-Richelieu in Montreal, known as “the megaplex.” We were the first English platoon to complete and it happened during the referendum‼️ - a truly unique experience.

Graduation Day from Basic Military Training— 30 years ago! (I’m the one in the middle, lol)👊🏾

This was a great talk! Thanks @AcadiaSociology!

Nova Scotians will have the opportunity to go to the polls and elect a new government on November 26. There are two urgent reasons why we are asking Nova Scotians to entrust us with government once again. First: People are facing financial pressures. It will take long-term vision, policy changes and investments to support them through the affordability challenges and improve Nova Scotia for everyone. Our Nova Scotia PC government has a plan that will make it happen. We are ready to make significant new investments in areas like housing and affordability, but before we enact that plan, Nova Scotians should have their say. Second: With the instability in Ottawa and a federal election coming soon – Nova Scotia needs a government with a strong mandate to stand up for our province. Our Province risks becoming a political football in a federal election that could be held simultaneously with the current scheduled fixed election date. That is not in the province’s best interest.    It is clear to me that - facing a political crisis and potential electoral defeat – Prime Minister Trudeau has decided to try to save seats in Ontario and Quebec at the expense of places like Nova Scotia. We have more work to do, and with the support of Nova Scotians, we will keep building up Nova Scotia.  I look forward to crisscrossing the province and sharing our plan for: ✅ Lower Taxes. ✅ More Doctors. ✅ Higher Wages. In this election, I ask for your support to make it happen. #nspoli

I’ve always had two rules for myself as a musician: 1. Show up to the first rehearsal ready to play the gig if you had to, and 2. Don’t be a jerk. I suspect this translates to other professions as well!

@TheArgyleGhost @TimHoustonNS @avccommerce Can’t speak for others but hard decisions are nothing new for us!

@AcadiaUPres @TimHoustonNS @avccommerce What’s the financial plans for Acadia U. and the other Nova Scotia universities with fewer international students? Taxpayers can’t keep increasing funding, so hard decisions will have to made by University Presidents.

Thank you Premier @TimHoustonNS for coming to the Valley and speaking to the @avccommerce yesterday. I like to think as a leader I am not afraid to answer difficult questions and I was impressed by your willingness to talk hard things and your enthusiasm for the future of NS!

This is one of the best scholarship programs for undergrads in the country. Congratulations to these two new Irving Scholars and thank you to the Irving family for their fantastic support.

@AcadiaUPres I said "almost".

A ranking (almost) everyone can enjoy: a ranking of University *Presidents*.
