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”?

Hear me out.
My colleagues at my university research this and have shown hormone disruptions in post menopausal women who like me want to burn the world down. I mean maybe let me burn it down because you lot are assholes…in the meantime maybe waves hands if you don’t like what we have to say

Look headlines about us being useless. Workplaces, like it or not, need to acknowledge hormones and their impact.

Not a word about hormones, women, stuff and shit. In a work place dominated by women. WTAF

Government used to own buildings…that they sold…at fire sale prices…and now are getting back into leases at the same time everyone else is so 🤑

My niece currently works for the feds. If she doesn’t get into the office before 7am she won’t have a desk to work at. Good luck Mark.

That makes my head hurt!

Told by coaches that she’d run faster if she weighed less, she restricted food until her body broke down. She lost her period, had bone stress fractures and saw her performance plummet

“The uniforms seem stuck in an age where women still have to look traditionally sexy while doing their sport — like they were designed for a beauty pageant, not performance.”

We really do go out of our way to shame women…

‘You put the top on and your life is sucked out of you’: The fight to change women’s sports uniforms
When Olympian Tess Howard put on her new uniform for Great Britain’s women’s field hockey team in 2021, she felt something she hadn’t expected at the height of her athletic career: embarrassment.

The language here irritates me as half of these births are linked to students (not tourists). We also have workers, emergencies, surrogates, waves hands.

On a real panel that has a real report to back it up you will always see recommendations are always a consensus. Man if I could tell you the arguments, even the screaming matches, I’ve been part of…well it would make you appreciate more the report and recommendations

I’ve also never been on a real panel that only released a list of recommendations like this one. Where is the full report?

I’ve been a member of many panels. I’ve chaired panels. In all cases we put our names on the reports. There are no names on this report.
Did Trevor Tombe sign off on the panel recommendations? Were the recommendations the product of unanimity or did some panelists disagree?
The province receives recommendations from panels all the time, and premier & gov't take or leave ideas as they please.
But this is different.
This panel was *chaired* by Premier Danielle Smith.

I mean it’s better than a leader who knows you exist but regularly ignores everything you do. Speaking from current experience

Can we talk about accessibility in Alberta reports or no. Is that just a matter for charitable contributions?
