I taught Industrial Relations & Human Resource Management at Saint Mary's University in Halifax, for nearly 20 years. I retired a few years ago and resumed my true interests as a left wing activist, and a writer. This blog reflects my writing and journalism background. I am also a Jew who supports Palestinian human rights. I am a founding member of Independent Jewish Voices Canada and an active member.
