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”?

I think the assumption is that it reduces water intensity in the non residential sector but I am not sure on the data on that

This is why you need to tell Calgarian residents what is a reasonable per person m3 consumption amount. Some households are doing a lot of heavy lifting always. Some are doing nothing ever. Our new normal needs to tell folks what to reduce to in addition to behaviours that reduce consumption

The US works like Quebec. IRS collects federal. State tax collectors collect state. Employers withhold and remit accordingly.

When we sold our house in #yyj in 2015 everyone was saying the bubble was about to burst. That house we sold is now valued 2x+ what we sold it for 🤷🏻‍♀️

I remember when we had to line up in the gyms to register for classes, but that aside, registering for courses still does suck. I am actually not allowed to override our waitlists (we have them here) but empathize with students on the waitlists not being able to access course material on D2L.

The routine task of trying to register for required courses is often frustrating as many students get shut out. Is there a better way?

City update is really missing the really needed opportunity of saying, look if you use more than X m3 water per person you really need to address your households water consumption because that is way too much not just now during this emergency but also as we move into this new normal.

Thompson says even when the Bearspaw feeder main is back up and running, the city will have to run the pipe at lower pressures with less water, which is why conservation efforts will need to continue.

Well, the fall update had WTI at 61.50 and that was 6.50/bbl lower than the budget and we are now below $59 AND more importantly the differential was 11.30/bbl in the update whereas it is now more than $13 so...yah, not good.

Farkas says the independent panel will deliver its report on the Bearspaw Feeder Main to city council tomorrow. He says it will be released publicly.
