Here and on https://t.co/umYkBYFuIc I examine the social, environmental, and political impacts as we slice through life. From gentle pushes to rocking the boat.

The federal election is almost over. Riveting but I’m ready for it to end. There've been mock elections in social studies classes across the country. I can almost guarantee every one of them has had more substance than the real one. wakeimake.com/when-not-in-ro… #cdnpoli #WhenInRome

#Inuit employment in the public service was a cornerstone of the vision that saw #Nunavut created. 20 years in, we are not even close. This month the GN created a Dept of Human Resources. Again. More needs to be done. Like these three things: wakeimake.com/GN-HR-IEP-SMH/

Nunavut just celebrated it's 20th anniversary - happy birthday Nunavut! What will the next 20 years hold? What do we want to see when we look back in 2039? Can we see our future past? Sort of... wakeimake.com/seeing-future-… #Nunavut #future

I try to play nice & keep it cooperative, but the gloves are off. It's a cold, hard, competition between northern & southern Canada. Here it is. 5 differences, and who is better. Written by a northerner. But I’m super fair. wakeimake.com/north-versus-s…#arctic #Canada #Nunavut

Oops, sorry. Oh, sorry. We Canadians, apparently, like to say sorry. In recent times, so does our government. This is good news. Sadly, good news is news for a day. Bad news is news for a week. Quick, before we forget again: wakeimake.com/Canada-getting… #reconciliation #sorry

@ElizabethMay Electoral reform has suffered two more defeats in Canada. It just needs an empowering approach. You heard me talk about a Riding Choice Hybrid system in Iqaluit. With Fed & BC defeats since then, I think it is worth another look: wakeimake.com/electoral-refo….

@fairvotebc Here's an idea for electoral reform that could work for BC - without waiting for the recent referendum to fade into the past. It's part III of a blog series, but it is a fine place to start anyway. wakeimake.com/electoral-refo…

@KingsleyJP Sounds good. Discussion on Twitter is like digging potatoes with a fish hook. (Even if you have a good point you can barely scratch the surface.) What is your preferred method of discussion? My email is pepper.chambers@gmail.com, for starters.

@KingsleyJP What do you think of letting ridings join together to form multi-seat ridings on their own? The result is a hybrid system - something you've proposed in the past, but with the electorate in control. I explain it more here: wakeimake.com/bridging-the-e…

@FrankReardon1 Terrible picture! Animal cruelty for sure! No, not the sled dogs. The animals in this picture here. Look at the poor things. All crammed in, walls all around them, probably super hot, no space to run, no fresh air, no seal meat...

Bell Let's Talk: working to break the stigma of mental health. The most successful part is famous people - they are useful for once. If they talk about their mental health, they modify public mental health attitudes. Now what can we do? wakeimake.com/lets-listen/ #LetsTalk #Listen
