Aidan Simardone

Hey, I’m Aidan Simardone: geopolitical analyst, lawyer and geography nerd

I use this channel to dive into the intersections of law, immigration, global affairs, and sometimes maps (because yes, I’m that kind of nerd). My work is driven by a deep interest in how law, religion, and human movement shape our world.

You might’ve read my pieces in Jacobin, The New Arab, CounterPunch, Canadian Dimension, and The Maple. Whether I’m breaking down policy, exploring social justice, or tackling tough questions with a leftist lens, I aim to spark real, thoughtful conversations.

By trade, I’m a Toronto-based immigration lawyer. I hold a JD from Osgoode Hall, a Master of Global Affairs from the Munk School, and a BA in Political Science and Economics from the University of Toronto.

Stick around if you're into critical takes, nuanced analysis, and maybe the occasional rant about borders and bureaucracy.
