Why I Love Bruce and His Wise Ways! When you share old tales and lobster around the kitchen table in Unama'ki (Cape Breton), no matter how fraught the legal arena you are entering the next few days, you know it is with family (of truth and justice). Family who always speak what is right, will never back down if just, and will always apologise when wrong (or even if right, if someone's feelings has been hurt, then say sorry for their pain). Bruce is such a Man, and Family, as are Ted, Jim, and David et al, who could tell the tale, but understand, that is it best left for the next time we met by the Waters of Bras d’or. You only need to look at his smiling wingman, riding shotgun Folks, and you'll see it come shining through. He writes and plays great music, art, literature, love of life-long learning and self-improvement! He has been serving and giving back since his first days as RCMP in Maple Ridge (Circa 80-81) when he bumped into a few of my Friends from Riverview Rural High School (“RRHS”), or so the story goes. If ever I needed a person of his significant skill to help in many areas, Bruce would be my choice. Add in his willingness to help victims, pro bono, with the process re abuse, assault, etc. all for the greater good, then in my mind, he could use our support with his generous mission (IMHO).   If you have any need of a very modestly paid, super value Expert Witness, Trainer, Coach, Mentor, Advisor, Mediator, Investigator (Witnesses, Statements, Independence, Leadership, Ethics, etc.), then I highly recommend Bruce. If you want to be told when you are not right or could “look at it differently” (to use his words) like I did, he always will. His views and loyalty always follow logic, law, ethics, and his considerable experience in cause/effect, not money nor likeability. From what I can see, money for Bruce is simply so he can eat, live, and keep serving others, and if you can use his hired help – please do. His recent announcement re free "Forecnic Statement Capture & Preservation" is linked below. This is wonderful Folks, in the finest tradition of Bench, Bar, and Thin Blue Line. Bravo Zulu Sgt. – makes me proud to call you and David et al Good Friend! Now, one final Piece of Nanna Reid's Pie Plate Puzzle - “No Pursuit is Trivial If just” – Lest We Forget! Best, Kevin https://lnkd.in/g-cG5MDw PS: Can my CBA and L.E.A.F. colleagues take note and see if you can develop a Mentorship Programme for Young Advocates to shadow, learn, then help Bruce (and others) with this critical work? If we start there, the end of the dark tunnel of gender violence will be closer, and we will see more light with each passing full moon. PPS: Thank you for your Service to Kanama'ki, and especially Helping a Caper in Need😊

Recently, Saeculum published a #special_issue that I edited together with three dear colleagues from Justus Liebig University Giessen. It was based on the #conference we organized in 2019, entitled "Villains: Constructing Narratives of #Evil" (see: https://lnkd.in/gReDNHrb). That was also supposed to be the title for this volume, but somehow it disappeared in the publication process. Despite its missing title, this is an exciting collection of articles about #villains, #heroes and #martyrs, with an international and interdisciplinary focus. Find it here: https://lnkd.in/gk3RAqJM

🥧 Happy Pi Day to all my connections! Today, March 14th (3.14), we celebrate not just a mathematical constant, but a symbol of endless possibilities and the joy of discovery. Pi Day is a reminder of the beauty and intrigue in mathematics that touches various aspects of our lives, from technology and engineering to finance and even the culinary arts. It's a day to appreciate the blend of precision and creativity that drives innovation in our industries. In the spirit of Pi Day, let's reflect on how we can apply the principles of continuous learning and curiosity in our professional lives. Whether it's exploring new markets, innovating products, or simply finding better ways to solve problems, there's always room to grow and improve. How are you embracing the spirit of Pi Day in your professional journey? #PiDay #Innovation #ContinuousLearning #ProfessionalGrowth

At TRIG, we begin by asking ourselves, "What does it mean to be human?" and then organize our desired outcomes and requisite actions in a manner consistent with the answer, lest we be bereft by windy whistles. Chime in; what do YOU think it means to be human? What is it that distinguishes the human being from all other creatures on earth, and is consistent across time and space (histories and cultures)? #FoundationalThinking

As we enter the final month of Q1 for 2024, I’d like to suggest that we pause for a purposeful reflection and recalibration of our actions and goals to make sure that we’re on our path to success! Here’s what we’ll be focusing on in March:  - In the spirit of our Sunology values, we’ll humbly revisit our Q1 goals. Celebrate wins, learn from challenges, and embrace growth opportunities.  - Infusing Q1 with the vibrant passion that propels us forward. Channelling our Sunology value of Passion into every project, meeting, and interaction. - Upholding the Sunology value of Integrity as we make strategic choices, ensuring they align with the best interests of our team and mission. - As Q1 is a launchpad for future successes, we’ll invoke the Sunology value of Innovation to explore creative solutions and embrace new ideas. Here's to a March filled with purpose, collaboration, and achievements! #Q1Reflection #MarchGoals #SunologyValues #AuthenticLeadership

"According to Staw’s research, when we invest our time, resources, and energy into something in which the result turns out to be negative, we don’t want to accept that we’ve suffered a loss or failure. We continue the same course of action, finding reasons to justify our initial decision-making process, which ultimately leads us to justify continuation of the loss..."
