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”?

The BC Conservatives want to govern the province and can't manage 39 people. Not great!

Former senior AHS execs told me they fear the healthcare system is like Humpty Dumpty: so broke it can't be put back together again. Sources say UCP spending a fortune on consultants for rushed fixes to serious organizational problems LaGrange et al were warned would happen, but ignored the advice.

Seven new AHS CEOs have been fired and replaced by seven others who have also been fired. Recall petitions have been issued against all MLAs, as well as several non-MLAs. The Notwithstanding Clause has been used to overturn Santa. Every MLA has crossed the floor twice.

Welcome to #ableg.

Oh. My. Heavens.

I’d hoped that Queen Camilla would continue her new tradition of shaking up who wears what when it comes to royal jewellery.

But this.

THIS is beyond my imagination.

Much cooler than someone sending you an opaque section of the Income Tax Act, asking you for a policy interpretation.

The BC Conservatives currently hold 39 seats

So, theoretically, if 20 of them were to leave the caucus and form their own party, they could end up the official opposition 💁‍♀️

Norway said Wednesday it will set up a commission to study potential scenarios for the country’s post-oil economy, a commitment the Greens Party secured in exchange for backing the government’s 2026 budget bill.

At some point someone is going to have to convince me that have a paper in a high impact factor journal that is never or rarely cited is more prestigious than publishing in a lower impact factor journal that is extensively cited and used to change policy because I just literally don’t see it

"Rallies digital warriors"?
Is the Formerly Known as the Manning Centre admitting they pay trolls?
Federal overreach assaults parliamentary democracy, CSFN demands courts respect the notwithstanding clause. Liberal centralism threatens our sovereignty. We unite think tanks to lead this battle. The progressive left won't stop without accountability for judicial activism. From secularism laws to resource rights, provinces need bold defense now. CSFN rallies digital warriors, overwhelming their agenda.

One of the biggest impacts I’ve seen from the unproven idea that people are wrongfully using disability accommodations is that people stop trusting people with disabilities and in fact further restrict, remove, and demonize accommodations for people with disabilities in general
