About / À propos
I’m a political advisor/special advisor, international human rights barrister (lawyer), writer, photographer, former journalist, and enfant terrible to all. I’m a thirty-eight-year-old French Canadian from Montreal, Quebec, Canada — I also claim Geneva, Switzerland as my second home, because it is. That’s all I have time for, to be honest.
