In my recent conversation with Raynald Leroy on "Ray Presents," we explored Canada's identity as a multi-juridical society. We navigate a legal landscape shaped by common law, civil law, and—crucially yet often overlooked—Indigenous law. This raises a pivotal question: Why isn't Indigenous law more prevalent in the broader practice of our society? It is a legal tradition rich with insights on governance, community, and environmental stewardship, developed over countless generations. As we strive for a truly inclusive society, it's time we reflect on how we can better recognize and integrate the principles of Indigenous law into our collective legal consciousness. Let's open the floor for a broader discussion on embracing the full spectrum of our multi-juridical heritage. #IndigenousLaw #LegalInclusivity #MultiJuridicalSociety #CulturalDiversity #truthandreconciliation

Support young people Support musicians Support live music And jazz ain’t dead! UK Jazz collective wins Mercury music prize and refs all the good work that goes into supporting artist development in the UK. In case some of you hadn’t noticed I’m a massive fan and supporter of music and musicians. I also love jazz. And I love those keeping music(and especially jazz) live and alive, growing and reinterpreted. I used to go to NYC every week for work, now I know I’ve told this story before but if you’ll indulge me. Here is how I used to do the trip - “Chairman’s flight” out - daytime work 6 hours straight on the plane, no interruptions. Typically I would review business performance, write the strategy, read any papers / deal reviews / budget requests /investment cases. So full on, no chilling with a movie and red wine. I’d land around 2 and get to Manhattan and checked in around 5 (traffic) just in time to shower, grab a bite from whole foods and catch the early jazz show at 7:30 to be in bed for 10. On the last night (flight the next morning, no client meetings) I’d do a late night out. I often used to catch the late jazz set around 11pm when the young “cats” came in to do their thing. I loved it it was live vibrant, referential whilst exploring and pushing the boundary jazz was definately still alive and evolving in front of you. New York has always been strong for music and in particular jazz, one of the reasons is the strength of the music schools there (jazz is very technical even if it appears free form) Now I’ve also stated publicly that right now I think London has the edge on the scene so this is a great recognition of both the talent in the uk and the strength of the teaching infrastructure both formal and informal - that’s important and we should all continue to support education, music and live it really makes a difference to young people. Now whilst we’re at it and I’ve said this before. The UK used to have the worlds biggest music company. And media used to be recognised as the UK’s third largest export (after defence and finance). Let’s do it again! Who’s with me? And whilst we’re at it why don’t we build that studio at last to rival Hollywood?
The moment Ezra Collective won the 2023 Mercury Prize with FREENOW for their album 'Where I'm Meant To Be'! The winners took a special moment to shout out all the music education organisations across the country who are supporting our next generation of performers - a crucial part of our future talent pipeline providing them with opportunities that they otherwise might not be able to access.
