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 happening! Canada launched two programs to recruit international researchers.

Canada Impact+ Research Chairs (1 million/yr for 8 yrs +)
Canada Impact+ Emerging Leaders.

I will do my best to facilitate the process for those interested. Hit me up.

When we published our work on the Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner, one of our key takeaways about 'officers of Parliament' was just how much the work of the given office (and indeed, its credibility) depended on the individual heading it. www.emmettmacfarlane.com/resources/CI...

Ideology best left in the 90s

Dr Lindsay Tedds @lindsaytedds.bsky.social · 14h

You might not like it, but net debt as a %age of GDP of 43 is not unsustainable. To suggest otherwise is ideology.

Also not amount of prompts to AI will get you to help you with SPSD/M. The later is too old, the former is too young.

Anthropic and hence Copilot at least seem, by design, to have more scholarly material at their disposal...

Dr Lindsay Tedds @lindsaytedds.bsky.social · 1d

Playing around with AI (ChatGP, MS Copilo, Anthropic) because I have to learn. It is really not clear to me that the prompts (You are a professor who cares about accuracy, you are a student who has to follow these instructions, here are the word limits) really help that much or maybe that is just me

I’ll add the Conservatives oppose climate change science, want increased private healthcare and now oppose birthright citizenship (being born in Canada makes you a Canadian citizen - they want to end that). There are more policies that are part of the Conservative platform but these are a few.

On this day in 2003, the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada and the Canadian Alliance merged to form the Conservative Party of Canada. The party's first leader was Stephen Harper, who served as Prime Minister from 2006 to 2015.

Two men in business suits shake hands and smile broadly in front of a row of Canadian flags. The man on the left has light brown hair, wears a dark suit with a blue patterned tie, and stands slightly taller. The man on the right has graying hair, wears a darker suit with a light striped tie and a lapel pin, and gestures with his left hand while shaking with his right. The background is a neutral gray wall.

The new data show Alberta, not Ontario as previously understood, has the highest case count of any province, despite having a much smaller population. Ontario publicly reports probable cases.

New data show at least 450 probable cases were identified in the province, bringing the total to nearly 2,500 since the outbreak began last spring

Of babies infected w/Hepatitis B, 90% develop chronic infection.

Of those, 1 in 4 will DIE.

They lose the ability to get rid of toxins & make important proteins. Their skin yellows, their abdomen swells, they’re uncomfortable. A fate no one deserves.

One we can avoid w/ vaccination.

Is the UCP a separatist party?

Former PC cabinet minister Mark Norris admits there are reasons to think that but instead argues they're a party of "half-wits" given how many mistakes they've made, and how often they have to fix their own legislation.

Thoughts?

I was 17. In university. Suddenly realizing there were people (men) who thought I didn’t deserve to be were I was and they could be my peers. They could be evaluating me. It changed me.

The man who killed them didn’t earn it. Felt entitled to it. Killed them because of it.

I was in first year university when these women were killed in an anti-feminist attack at École Polytechnique de Montréal. Most of the victims were engineering students, along with one employee. This is why I care about representation. I earned it so did they.
