Today on Volts: for years, I've wanted to do a podcast on indoor air quality, and I finally found the perfect guest! Dr. Lagoudas & I discuss indoor air pollutants, the policies and technologies that can control them, and the growing need to frame indoor air quality as a basic human right.
What's the deal with indoor air quality?
From CO2 monitors to better building codes, Dr. Georgia Lagoudas outlines how to clean up the spaces where we spend 90% of our lives.

On our last #axschat podcast, Gina Bhawalkar, from Forrester, said: Every org should review their accessibility workflow and ask: Where can #AI add value? Are vendors building responsibly or rushing features? Responsible design and the right questions promote real inclusion. #AXSChat #Accessibility

Welcome! You are invited to join a webinar: Elbows Up: A Practical Program for Canadian Sovereignty. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the webinar.
Donald Trump's trade war and other attacks on Canadian sovereignty have exposed the vulnerabilities of Canada's economy, 35 years after our first free trade deal with the U.S. At the recent Elbows Up Economic Summit in Ottawa, 40 progressive economists and policy experts met to discuss how Canada must respond ‒ and a new Compendium of research from the Summit will be published on October 30. At this webinar, several Summit speakers will discuss the highlights of their proposals, and discuss what comes next in the Elbows Up movement.

The latest from me, @bobbarnetson.bsky.social and Susan Cake. Explaining why educational assistant strikes aren’t getting settled. TL;DR it is due to the UCP’s interference in public sector bargaining.

Opinion: Why are education support workers still on strike? Ask the UCP
There are two things the provincial government is doing that are preventing timely settlements.
