Likewise! I love reading your week notes to think about the craft of design in public service <3

So funny, I also just found this book and the BC public sector accords of the 90s where the gov under Clark did work with the unions on policy: ethicspress.com/products/35-... so yes to sparking ideas!

That's a step increase in employment of 20-30% for building trades employment. Sean Strickland from @cdntrades.bsky.social sums it up perfectly: "Canada’s transition to a cleaner economy represents one of the most significant job creation opportunities in our country’s history." #canlab /4

Speakers Corner and all the live Much Music segments overly coloured my mental map of Toronto as just that stretch of Queen Street. Perhaps not accurate to call those shows "about" Toronto however...

@envirodgi.bsky.social and public environmental data partners have been hosting an alternative
Don’t worry; we and our collaborators at Public Environmental Data Partners have stood up a copy of EJScreen, the environmental justice mapping and screening tool taken down by Trump's EPA last week.
