new paper by Sean Westwood:
With current technology, it is impossible to tell whether survey respondents are real or bots. Among other things, makes it easy for bad actors to manipulate outcomes. No good news here for the future of online-based survey research

In the US, they’ve scrapped the rule to consult the public before repealing regulations. Up here, our government is gearing up to fast-track big projects.
Speed’s great, but skipping the people most affected? That comes with a cost.

Why public consultations are essential to good governance
Public consultations are vital to Canadian governance. Weakening them risks poor policy, reduced trust, and democratic backsliding.

Thrilled to share this new article I co-authored with Megan Linton! We explore the ways that Canadian disability housing policy is 'haunted' by systemic ableism. Read it to discover how Canada continues to exclude, eliminate and extract from people with disabilities through supported housing.
