While our talented team talked #digital I couldn’t help but trade travel stories about my wandering around the Horn of #Africa during my career! Always great to connect w business leaders from #Somalia & hear firsthand the challenges & opps unfolding in their country today.

2 yrs on from 🇨🇦's announcement that it was developing a "strategy" for Africa (which led to nothing), it looks like Global Affairs Canada is starting again...Sigh. A start would be some modest engagement on the largest political/security/humanitarian crisis on the continent (#Sudan).

Interesting article re managing the cost implications of climate change. We see lots of debt being piled onto developing nations globally, but they are not the emitters causing the issue, resulting in an even larger debt cycle on those least able to repay theguardian.com/environment/ar…

Happy Sunday all. To those pulling together the strength needed to push through the week ahead, remember you aren’t walking the journey alone, so many others have walked it before you, and walk it with you now. #SundayMorning #Strength

First this gov creates the crisis, now the PM puts the blame on students & immigrants who followed his gov policy. Never thought I would see a #Canadian PM bragging about tightening #immigration. We’ve always had a proud, balanced approach. Not now due to Justin Trudeau.

We’ve all been there. Moments where life feels unfair, overwhelming, & we don’t know how we can recover from the knocks we took. But we do. Don’t forget to ask for help, or that others have walked the path before us. We do get to smile again😃🙃😊#SundayInspiration #Motivation

Always enthralled by Denis Angura & his creative process. He is a great example of the talented, artistic spirit alive amongst young ppl in #SouthSudan. Can’t wait for another opportunity to see his amazing work in person. Soon I hope!

To be a Canadian kid is to know Robert Munsch & his incredible books, including his first book, “Love You Forever”. It was a “go to” in our house for Mom & I to practice my reading, & reinforce the concept of unconditional love that was an important part of childhood in our
