Max Bell Lectures, years 1 and 2 side-by-side in my living room. Really enjoyed the book, @VassB and @denisehearn_. Can't wait to talk about it with you this week at @AudreysBooks and on campus at @ualberta. Cc @MaxBellSchool
Panel: next fed election may feature “axe the tax” - but looking past rhetoric, likely still see climate policy activity because industry is leading, several provinces too. #cndpoli@GreenPACdotca
Next nerdy #cdnpoli event here with @GreenPACdotca@TheExchange_TMU. Opener : climate as a priority is way down today compared to 2019… affordability is #1. Will falling inflation change this before next fed Elxn? Pollsters from Leger, @angusreidorg , @EricGrenierTW sceptical.
Neat thought experiment: if one polled individual cabinet members, would top 5 priorities everyone list actually align? Proposed by @mattgurney@the_lineca
“Lisa, why can’t politicians fix things?” Asks @jengerson to @lraitt; lolz. Getting reelection comes at cost of long term focus and decisions, in short she says. @the_lineca
It’s been too long since I was live tweeting a wonky political event! Coming to you live from the (charming) basement of the @EPLdotCA with @TheLine… date night with @gerardjkennedy to boot. We are two 🤓🤓.
Thank you Kaylie Teissen for connecting competition to productivity @ppforumca#GrowthSummit and how we might “confuse profit for productivity.” Also mentions - I think critically - the utility of a behavioural approach. 👏
Lower investment in workers in small and medium businesses is one of many key barriers to higher productivity in Canada… makes me think about @Blueprint_ADE + our paper about training models + evidence of what works cc @IRPP https://t.co/HOq5wtRGnA
I'm honoured to work w/ super talented, thoughtful ppl at the Globe and Mail to craft this podcast that sense-makes life in the new economy - while having just the right amount of fun w/ it. We are looking forward to sharing our first episode next week (!). Thanks for kind notes.

Putting data at the centre of #CdnPoli will allow govts to be more adaptive & purposeful — creating the essential ecosystem to develop solutions to issues facing our country.
Together, we can make Canada a leader in ensuring that data is working for us all.

Thank you to @Blueprint_ADE and @IFSD_IFPD for the invitation to speak on how data plays a key role in producing better outcomes for Canadians.
Leveraging procurement data is also key in ensuring the best value for money of government contracts. #BetterEvidence24
Just imagine how differently the grievances, envies and (mis)handling of natural bounty might have unfolded of the prairies were carved up differently. (And a reminder that Alberta is itself an idea that comes out of from Ottawa!)
