Had anyone come across research papers that look at the link between the quality of a country’s democracy and how well politicians manage sovereign wealth funds? Do stronger democracies do a better job? Do autocracies do better than democracies?

For our latest report, authored by @RobinShaban, we conducted a foresight analysis that envisions three possible futures for Canada in the year 2040.
Canada’s economic future depends on the steps that are taken — or not taken — now to boost financial and economic inclusion.

The return of the OCC’s Policy Debate Series did not disappoint! 🔥👏
A big thank you to all our incredible debaters, including, @DrewFagan4, @FlavioVolpe1, @MikePMoffatt, @RobinShaban, and Moderator, @spaikin for their energy and insights that truly shone through in each round of the debate. Not only did their passion elevate the discussion, but it also sparked meaningful conversations beyond whether Ontario Is Losing Its Global Competitive Advantage that will resonate long after the event. Each of you demonstrated exceptional skill, thoughtfulness, and commitment to the craft of debate.
While the debate for whether Ontario’s strengths can offset its growing vulnerabilities seems to have been resolved… one question that seems to be up for debate post #OES2024 is whether pineapple truly belongs on pizza. 💭😅
Joking aside… let’s continue pushing our province’s boundaries and inspiring meaningful change to #FutureProofON!

Saúl Sandoval Perea and I examine Mexico’s bold move to reduce regulator independence to prioritize public interest over business. Businesses in Mexico and Canada must rethink their approach, showing how their plans benefit society, not just the economy.

Fresh off the press, economist @RobinShaban and my colleague @jjfForward collaborated on a piece on Uber in Toronto.
MORE REGS are needed to FOSTER COMPETITION to benefit consumers and workers.
Crack open that regulatory moat created by the City!

Have you ever wanted to learn how to use the Social Policy Simulation Database/Model (SPSD/M)? I'm offering my half-day course on January 28. It will get you up and running with the program, and is a great compliment to the four-day intensive training offered by StatsCan

It's a computer program from Statistics Canada that lets you model potential changes to federal and provincial taxes and transfers, including personal income taxes, child and family tax credits, and sales taxes.

The @globeandmail published a piece by @BovyMaltz about bisexuality. The topic is valid, but the "analysis" is stereotypes and harmful. I wrote about why here.
With Pride month here, the Globe should write an apology to readers.

For the life of me, I cannot find any studies that estimate wage markdowns in Canada. Am I missing something? If you have any leads, let me know!
