What this says to me is that governments in Canada need to partner with Canadian innovators so that they have the realtime data necessary to govern their jurisdictions in the digital era. #GovTech #RegTech #Procurement
This chart is making the rounds on social media. New study permits approved by study level, Ontario, 2016-2022 Chart created by @ApplyBoard's #ApplyInsights.
Out of curiosity, I used data provided by @smeurrens to see which Ontario institutions got the most # of SP approved in 2022. It will be very interesting to see how the Ontario government eventually decides to split the limited quota in 2024 (I estimated that to be ~140k/360k).
@TTRRMK @smeurrens It was a great episode, thanks so much for the review and for the predictions for next year!
@smeurrens This was a fantastic listen. Self-compassion in an unpredictable (and burn-out prone) industry is crucial. Thanks for the reminder!

@MittRomney Why did you support the draft during the Vietnam war while you refused to serve?
@immlawyercanada @smeurrens It was very insightful and full of valuable info on PFL,although I have to say that the analogy of a judicial review for a rejected TRV and a hammer to kill a mosquito was priceless and right to the point.Thanks to the host and the guests for this wonderful episode of Borderlines
@smeurrens Thanks for your commitment to serious conversation about immigration & refugee issues, Steven & Deanna: it was a pleasure speaking with you.
@smeurrens Wonder if the photo poses included plumber's crack?
One of the key figures in the World Health Organization’s fight against #COVID19 is Canadian doctor Bruce Aylward. A pretty poor showing in this interview here, where he refuses to even acknowledge the existence of Taiwan... (China refuses to acknowledge it as a separate entity)
Wow. @WHO official Bruce Aylward can’t even acknowledge that Taiwan exists in fight against #Coronavirus. Poorly dodges question 3 times (hangs up once) when asked about wellbeing of 23 million people:
I’m unsure whether a number of these terms even qualify as “hyperbole,” rather than just qualifying modifiers which may be a bit wordy in some instances, but quite justified in others. Perhaps my favourite law grammarian @BryanAGarner might have an opinion?
The Chief Justice of the Federal Court has released a few examples of hyperbolic terms that he would like counsel to avoid.
