This is a wonderful coastal walk, easily accessible from Malmö by train. The train goes from Malmö Central Station to Glumslöv, a small village just off the coast of Skåne in Southern Sweden. Stepping off in Glumslöv, there is a small grocery store near the train station to pick up supplies. There are different routesContinue reading “Rambling from Glumslöv to Landskrona (Sweden)”

Rambling from Eastbourne to Seaford (the Seven Sisters)
This is a beautiful walk along the white cliffs from Eastbourne to Seaford. You can take public transit (or drive) to Eastbourne and walk all the way to Seaford along the coastal cliffs. There are frequent busses back from Seaford to Eastbourne, making this a great one-way walk. The walk is around 18-21km depending onContinue reading “Rambling from Eastbourne to Seaford (the Seven Sisters)”

New op-ed in the Toronto Star: Protect human rights with reforms to export laws
I have a new op-ed in the Toronto Star with my colleagues Jonathan Penney and Sophie Barnett. Based on our recent submissions to the Government of Canada, we argue for reform to Canada’s export laws to ensure better protection for human rights, in particular when it comes to technology exports.

New article: Detaining the Uncooperative Migrant
I have a new article out in the Journal of Law and Social Policy with colleague Molly Joeck on the role of “non-cooperation” in detaining migrants under Canadian immigration law: Abstract A migrant held in a Canadian prison refuses to hand over a DNA sample to the Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA). Another refuses toContinue reading “New article: Detaining the Uncooperative Migrant”
Rambling to Tuc de Mulleres (Spain)
Another part of the truly endless wonders of Northern Spain. We started this hike to Tuc de Mulleres (3014m) early in the morning from the valley of the old Espitau de Vielha, finishing in the late afternoon. Starting out gently in the valley forest, the path winds up to the top of a gushing waterfall. After that,Continue reading “Rambling to Tuc de Mulleres (Spain)”
Trail Running near Bassa d’Oles (Spain)
I started this run from Era Bassa D’Oles, using maps.me to navigate a circulate route from the lake, up into the valley and a mountain pass at 2,000 m, and then down for a total of 9 km. After running through the forest on bike tracks and then over a gravel road, I ended upContinue reading “Trail Running near Bassa d’Oles (Spain)”
Climbing Via Ferratas in Val D’Aran (Spain)
Via Ferrata Unha Just shy of 800 meters, this via ferrata proceeds in three stages (with escapes after stage 1 and stage 2) to climb up to 2220 meters. There is one Tibetan bridge, a dangling ladder, and a few challenging overhanging sections, among other obstacles to conquer. There is nothing quite like the sensationContinue reading “Climbing Via Ferratas in Val D’Aran (Spain)”
Rambling to Lac d’Arrius, Lac Tort d’Arrius & Lac del Mar (Spain)
This was my second glimpse of the unique world of the Spanish Pyrenees.
