There are so many people to thank who provided so much help and insight in the writing of this book. First I would like to thank my partner Jonathan Cross, without whom life would not have passed with as much joy. He has been so supportive throughout this process and through my life. I would also like to thank my colleagues at CanLII and Lexum who have shared their insights and knowledge with me as I have learned and written about this topic. I want especially to thank Xavier Beauchamp-Tremblay who has had so many discussions with me over the last six years on this and many other topics, and who graciously gave me feedback and shared his thoughts through this process. Alisa Lazear, Ivan Mokanov, Marc-André Morrisette, and Frédéric Pelletier also were great help with sharing their insights and talking things through with me as I learned.
