Me in Brief

Most of my interest in environmental law and ethics is satisfied through my subscription to the Ecology Action Centre (Nova Scotia), NSIS and SituSci (links below for details). A particular area of interest in corporate responsibility relates to the power wielded by the insurance industry and related organizations such as WCB (loosely called collectively the 'defense industry,' which has recently come to include governments as they increasingly adopt positions motivated by self-interest rather than traditional roles as protectors of the public good) and the relative powerlessness of consumers.
