There is so much misinformation, narrowly biased coverage and raw emotion online that concern me about our society's ability to think critically about the important issues of the day.

I am a retired litigation lawyer with over 40 years of experience in environmental, electricity, competition, and constitutional issues.

I am also the author of over 100 legal articles and a law book, and have been an adjunct faculty member at four Canadian law schools.
