Feeling incredibly lucky to climb the same rock as some legendary climbers on Mount Yamnuska.

You've heard of a parking meter that charges for parking. Have you heard of the work METR that charges you for working? Enough. Make work pay.

This is the fruition of long-term investments and talented people starting careers in the province decades ago. These investments are currently being reversed, and we will see the effects years from now. #ableg #abpse #ualberta

The UCP used taxpayer $ to study min wages, realized the study wouldn't help politically, and buried it. This is a misuse of public funds, but harm goes further. Censorship undermines trust in what experts communicate to the public and discourages experts from offering research.

Acclimated to 35*C runs, but can’t say they are fun. Thanks Turkey drivers for not hitting me yet and all the honks of what I assume is encouragement ..

Officially became Canadian 🇨🇦 citizen and climbed some ice (K-Country AB). Not a bad week.

Morning trail run up Ha Ling peak to catch sunrise. If it were not for brutal wind, I would have stayed to see the sun peek through.

Seems there are 2 types of kids at our daycare right now: those testing positive for covid and those without access to testing. I feel these last 2 weeks have been the hardest for parents so far, esp those <5.

Ugh! COVID outbreak at our daycare. *Majority* of children and teachers already tested positive, even some parents, across all age groups. We just got tested. Why are teachers/essential workers not a priority for vaccination?

Some obvious econ 101 observations regarding the CPC climate plan: 1. Consider 2 goods: dirty goods are subject to levy and clean goods is subject to rebate. Tautologically, households either spend more on levies or more on clean goods.

So I've done a first read of the leaked CPC plan and have a few thoughts. #cdnecon #cdnpoli

4. Thus the policy has zero effect for some households or it is effectively a 100% subsidy on clean goods for other households.

5. Both are inefficient: either by not encouraging some households to reduce emissions at all or by encouraging other households to spend inefficiently on clean goods (their consumption has an nonzero opportunity cost).
