I am heading back to Kingston today via too many cities (courtesy of Air Canada). It has been a whirlwind week of visits with people aged three months to 99 years, a graduation ceremony and errands. And too little warmth. To my horror, it was snowing when I left this morning.

Today I direct you to this great article by Ally Foster of Embassy Magazine. It profiles the people who will be reorganizing Canada’s development and international trade departments. This is a crucial time for Canada’s international affairs portfolio. The next few months will shape the country’s role in an ever-changing world. Take a read and enjoy your day.
