I also like these questions, especially the third.

Having either studied or taught or administered at all three Ontario universities, what separates Mac from the other two? Does he see any immediate or obvious advantages from Queens/UWO that McMaster should consider implementing?

I would like to know more about his youth/upbringings as well. I mean... did he always know he wanted to be in academia and run for president?

Here is an updated list of questions for Dr. Deane, please post more! We will check back with this thread again Monday at noon, to compile the final list for him.
