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”?
My team and I at the University of Calgary have acquired significant skills in using Statistics Canada's Social Policy Simulation Database and Model (SPSD/M) (lnkd.in/gTwmXkDE) to model a variety of policies, including but not limited to tax and transfer policies.

Opinion: Canada needs a nation-building project. It should start with interprovincial power transmission
The future is electric – and Canada should leverage its provinces’ complementary strengths and needs to build an east-to-west network and reach our full energy potential

For decades, we've prioritized electrical trade with the United States. It's time to reduce our dependence on them.

RE transit, middle and high school kids in #yyccc rely on Calgary transit to get to school. One of the main buses that serves my kid's school just had its schedule axed so that the bus run that gets a lot of kids to school on time in the am is no more.
Public presenter Justin Simaluk is now calling on city council to raise his taxes. (No joke—he does this every time!) Stop pretending this city is a small town, it needs big-city amenities and big-city ideas. "Raise my taxes and provide better transit." #yyccc

It may be a "shared" responsibility but when one road user can kill people and the other can't, the responsibility is not shared equally.
Cllr Atkinson asks about educating public re: pedestrian injuries/deaths. Deputy Chief O'Brien says peds + drivers both need education. People are being hit in crosswalks + jaywalking. Drivers not paying attention. "We’re trying to target everybody because it is a shared responsibility." #yyccc

Blink and you’ll miss it. The cruelty continues with the Alberta government not indexing ADAP to infalation “instead of being pegged to the "alberta escalator" (which was the lesser of inflation of 2%), benefits are now "the amount set out or determined in accordance with the regulations."”’

You can press an economic agenda that lifts everyone up without tearing some people down. It's not hard -- we just saw a good example of it.
And yeah, this is NYC. But J.B. Pritzker and Andy Beshear have shown it works in other places too.

And Carville had the audacity to invoke Mamdani's win to make his point? Mamdani didn't go "anti-woke" to win. Quite the opposite! www.readtpa.com/p/a-politici...
A Politician Actually Defended Trans People. It Shouldn't Be This Rare.
Many Democrats are treating trans people as politically toxic. NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani released a two-minute video proving there's another way.
