I am such a big fan of Canada’s best known political export, the UN High Commissioner on Human Rights, Louise Arbour. She is a former Canadian Supreme Court Justice who worked as a prosecutor for war-crimes tribunals for Yugoslavia (i.e. Slobodan Milosevic) and for Rwanda. She is so amazing to me as a woman who went far beyond the constraints of her profession to change the world - even a little bit - with her skills. I’m listening to an interview with her on CBC Radio’s Ideas right now and she is full of amazing statements. I want to have coffee with this woman. I want to hear what she thinks. I want to watch her in action.

I hope that in my career I act with such conviction and justice as she does.
