To be fair, it is unlikely that most in the US even know that there are Albertan separatists. And probably a large number that don’t know where Alberta is.

I find it very helpful when the candidate’s written statements help me to make that case by explicitly saying why their contributions to knowledge, education, and service are so important. Don’t assume every letter writer (or committee member) is intimately familiar with your work or field.

Seems to have left out an important word (which I assume is “no”) in the first sentence of the paragraph about direct budgets exceeding $500K in a year.
