I'm a lawyer in Toronto with an unhealthy love of international criminal law and administrative work. Oh yes, and napping.

Caveat Lector

I like a good argument like a starving wolf likes a bloody deer carcass. So, the basic rule is: Feel free to disagree, just don't be a jerk about it. This blog reflects my brain, always a work in progress. I'm not afraid to say what I think, but I can also admit when I'm wrong. Have I got my facts wrong? Correct me. Is my logic faulty? Show me. Know another perspective? Tell me. But please, please, for the love of God(s), be as prepared for a counter argument as you are for a capitulation. You can contact me here...
