This is interesting! journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

This article explores the effects of researcher pregnancy on conducting research with individuals experiencing homelessness. Using a critical reflexive approach and the existing limited research on pregnancy and fieldwork, experiences from a multi-city project using focus groups are presented. Excerpts from fieldnotes and reflections show that pregnancy has significant effects on the researcher and impacts research-participant interactions. Pregnancy can also lead to reflections of intersectionality and the interactions between faces of the researcher's identities. The researcher's visible pregnancy often helped build rapport and led to personal conversations that left participants feeling more comfortable. Positionality is key to understanding the effects of the researcher on research processes, and the discussion highlights the effects of pregnancy on these complex relationships.

If you are at the CEAs in #yvr, check out Selvia Arshad presenting work co-authored with myself & @gillianpetit.bsky.social titled "Beyond Cost and Yield: An MVPF-TAdmin Framework for Evaluating Tax-Administration Reforms through Public Value, Equity, and Welfare", forthcoming Canadian Tax Journal!

ABSTRACT
Canada’s tax administration is undergoing rapid digital transformation under tight fiscal constraints, yet reforms are still assessed mainly by their cost and revenue impact. We introduce the Marginal Value of Public Funds for Tax Administration (MVPF-TAdmin), a welfare-based framework for measuring the social return per administrative dollar spent. The framework integrates efficiency, equity, and public value into a unified assessment of how administrative design affects tax payers welfare and trust. Using the stylized case study of automatic tax filing, we show how the MVPF-TAdmin increases once accessibility and legitimacy are incorporated alongside efficiency. Automatic filing can yield high social returns by improving access for low-capacity tax filers. The MVPF-TAdmin framework provides policymakers with a practical tool to prioritize administration modernization based on inclusive welfare metrics.

Tha Alberta separatists go all in on state-directed natalism à la Orban and a policy expert interviewed says these are choices an independent Alberta has to make and how could we know in advance if the would do that 🖕

“That same night, Sylvestre suggested that an independent Alberta would have mandatory military service. He added that only those born in Alberta would ever be entitled to Alberta citizenship. “So we’re going to have to get those girls making more babies,” he said.
But the reality is that none of that is certain and many experts believe most of it is deeply improbable. “These are policy choices that a future government would have to make,” said Trevor Tombe, an economist and public policy expert at the University of Calgary. “And there's no way to know that separation would lead to a particular kind of government.””

So with no funding earmarked in the budget or SEU, we see WAGE back to making an announcement suddenly after a majority reached. Is it just one year of funding (annoumcing the last dregs of funding) or are we seeing a government just blow the bank with it majority www.canada.ca/en/women-gen...
