2007 feels like it is starting off on the right foot.

I have a new piece on INAC and its capacity to negotiate with Aboriginal Bands up on the Dominion Institute. INAC is full of public servants dedicated to creating an effective partnership with Aboriginal peoples – I hope these thoughts resonate with them. God knows that this issue needs to be made more of a priority. Also a big shout out to Mark P., Ben R., and Chiara B. who all read drafts of this piece and provided some helpful feedback. Thank you guys.

I’ve also noticed that readers are beginning to write comments on Dominion Institute posts. I was initially surprised that we were receiving so few comments, especially given the tens of thousands of hits the site receives each month. I’ve resolved this New Year to respond to more of the comments on the site. My hope is that this will encourage even more people to speak up – that is after all why it was launched!
