Conversation overheard today, walking along Rideau Street:
A: Oh, these academics.
B: I know.
A: They are so impossible to deal with.
B: Oh, I know.
A: You know what they say. It’s like hurting cats.
B: It sure is.
It reminded me a bit of The Sopranos, with all the running gags relating to mis-remembered quotations.

In the spring of 2005, I graduated from the University of British Columbia with a degree in International Relations and a general focus in the area of environmental politics. Between 2005 and 2007 I completed an M.Phil in IR at Wadham College, Oxford. I worked for five years for the Canadian federal government, including completing the Accelerated Economist Training Program, and then completed a PhD in Political Science at the University of Toronto in 2023.

Perhaps ‘bathing cats’ is a more apt comparison, anyhow.
