How many men did<br />

you see in kilts?<br />

• NC: Just one this year. (But everyone’s fashion game was<br />

strong. Clearly we were ready to get out of sweatpants!)<br />

• CS: Surprisingly, I saw zero men in kilts. How did I miss<br />

them? Probably I was too busy chatting away.<br />

• JB: Shockingly, none!<br />

Ed. Note: We counted at least 3 kilts this year but there were<br />

probably more!<br />

Most memorable line<br />

from the speeches?<br />

• JB: Justice Jamal’s hilarious speech hit upon the sentiment<br />

I feel when interviewing millennials about<br />

media habits with “old” media being Facebook and<br />

Twitter, and “new” media consisting of Tik Tok and<br />

SnapChat.<br />

• CS: I loved Justice Jamal’s description of his sons’ reaction<br />

to his high school graduation photo, circulated<br />

in the news after his Honour was appointed to the<br />

Supreme Court: “Dad, you were a nerd even among<br />

nerds”. His Honour’s whole speech was memorable –<br />

it gave such an insightful, witty, wry depiction of his<br />

path to our highest court.<br />

• NC: Do I have to pick just one? Justice Jamal’s speech<br />

had our table doubled over with laughter, and it was<br />

eye-opening to see such a different side of the SCC.
