Seems a good day to announce INCLUSIECON answering the question:How can researchers, policy practitioners, and civil society partners we transform Canada’s tax-and-transfer system into a more fair, inclusive, and effective foundation for reducing inequality and addressing complex “wicked problems”?
It’s hard to find ideas that 99% of economists will agree on, “inflation will get worse if the central bank stops being independent and starts setting interest rates based on the short term whims of the president” is one of them

Worse was I had them again next year. If I was me now then I’d unless hell. I will never forgive my department head. Ever

I though I could deal but apparently not

Why am I triggered? The course I taught was Intro to Econometrics. I was just assigned that for fall 2026

Since moving to Alberta I’ve been attacked by right wing conservatives. Overtly, covertly. Professionally. Anna Murphy has brought these up for me. The University has not been a safe space.

Have you ever been attacked by students? I have. Not physically. But they tried. I still think about it. A lot. I still a lot about my department head who made me sit in the room with the man who led these threats. Who thought that apology was the end. ottawacitizen.com/news/nationa...
Lindsay Tedds: Threats on social media are not victimless crimes
The comments made reference to very specific times and locations that I was likely to be alone. The threats, in other words, seemed very real and very likely.

Pinches bridge of nose…so I get ideology and allegiances but jyoti performed amazingly daringly the 2024 water main break that set the scene for Jeromy and if you don’t see that

Thanks for all the advice but for my condition there is literally one person who specializes in my condition in Calgary. And I can count on one hand plus a finger on people who can surgically treat part of my condition. I understand that you lot thinking that a several year wait list is bonkers

Thanks Len. I really appreciate you!

ADHD brain that sees patterns in a blink slowly dies

Mmmmmmm so let’s talk about the funding crisis first

So yes I need someone to pin a happy face onto my real face as they interpret empathetically all my absolute frustrations as to how our we need to understand our understand our undergrads fund our grad program and how do we, economists, not understand this

Oh so be patient. Merph I need an interpreter

Interesting in the way as I sit here after being on campus yesterday and now and last evening being in so much pain I can’t do anything else but sure elective surgeries

I think watching the Pitt season 2 after three ER trips including 1 in an ambulance…nearly being admitted for emergency surgery only for someone at 11pm to decide, after being denied water that I was happy to oblige, that my surgeries could be actually considered elective (meaning schedulable).

Real actual passionate question. How do you convince your academic department that most of the students you are teaching will become professionals and not academics so maybe…maybe we need to teach accordingly to most and maybe people like me are are real benefit to that and maybe use it accordingly

“Given that the premier’s former chief of staff…has consistently been found to be in the same places, the same skyboxes, and the same backroom deals as Sam Mraiche, will the minister pretend that Mraiche’s numbered company on the recovery building’s land title is purely a coincidence?”

I have all the heating vents closed in the bedroom and a fan right by the bed controlled by remote control. Hubby sleeps with a toque on and extra blankets that dare not cross the divide. I have no empathy for him.

Not long after Addiction Ministry representatives toured the property, Mraiche bought it. Now it’s a detox centre leased to Métis Nation of Alberta.

When even Jason Kenney makes a good point

Wish. For a man.maybe my husband, maybe a man I work with. To spend a week as a post menopausal woman. Nay. As as a year as a perimenopausal woman. Nay as a pregnant than as a year post pregnant mum. Oh then factor in neurological conditions

Oh oh my. Personally I think I am pretty easy to get along with. But but I can leave a wake…as a have a rigid line that when crossed there is no coming back from. The patriarchy crosses it, right wing ideologues, assholes… you know

I can’t divulge that but always happy to take calls and emails. And I am pleasant…until you piss me off. And it’s pretty clear when you piss me off.

Today I urged my department to delete their X account for this very reason
Alberta senator Paula Simons is urging the federal government to take some action regarding the X/Grok situation. X Corp's generative AI, Grok, has been producing and distributing non-consensual pornographic images of women—and even child sex abuse material—for months.
A proliferation of sexual deepfakes on X has prompted other countries to investigate Grok, the platform’s AI software, but, so far, Ottawa remains silent.
