Today, my dissertation was published online: open.library.ubc.ca/cIRcle/collect… Do I expect anyone to read it? Absolutely not. So, here’s a summary of my past 4.5 years of research about how trust is built during collaborative natural resource governance involving Indigenous communities

@jubbishjay Stop by for a visit in Squamish!

Red is the route I’ve taken so far, blue is the proposed second leg of the journey Finally getting to Vancouver has put some wind back in my sails to really document and make art from this trip Abandoned mining roads, very little pavement, some nasty backcountry Stoked

"Benefits of liberalized trade are usually broadly dispersed gains to consumers, sectors and communities [...] Hence, there are no natural champions outside of think tanks and academia. Losses, on the other hand, are generally concentrated and well known" theglobeandmail.com/business/comme…

Seafood may be marketed directly to consumers, retailers, restaurants, institutions and source-identifying distributors

The first national assessment of direct seafood marketing practices estimates ~12% of US seafood harvesters engage in direct seafood sales localcatch.org/wp-content/upl…

A pretty interesting editorial in the @globeandmail today, though one that makes (what I think is) a pretty common mistake with regard to the Bank of Canada's mandate. Short 🧵theglobeandmail.com/business/comme…

@McNameeJason Worth a road trip!

@nhotte I always wanted to see that

No trip to Northern California is complete without a visit to the redwoods

@twitscotty Charlyne Yi or no one

So which actress plays Caroline

My personal top-5 favorite graphs/exhibits from Claudia #Goldin papers 1. Gender pay gap is present in (almost) all occupations, even controlling for age, race and education. Why? Because of the "value placed on the hours and job continuity of workers" aeaweb.org/articles?id=10…

The Nobel Prize in Economics has been awarded to Claudia Goldin. Most economists will immediately know why she won. This is a very quick thread, aimed at non-economists, explaining why her work on the the labour market outcomes of women has been awarded the Prize.

@tim4hire @COWSICECREAM If only I could eat dairy!

On the East Coast this week to visit some First Nation-owned commercial fishing and aquaculture businesses. …But first, a sunset stroll in downtown Halifax.

Then hopped on the ferry to Prince Edward Island

Today’s agenda included a visit to Pictou Landing First Nation. They have a fleet of 24(!) fishing vessels that harvest lobster and crab, guide tuna charters and operate their own in-house marine service shop.

Spent yesterday hiking to the summit of Locomotive Mountain

BoC giving a nod to the macro “demand pull” theory of inflation, but they could be more explicit: greater spending on mortgage costs today is displacing other forms of spending, which in aggregate is determined by the balance between income and saving.

Regular reminder that "shrinkflation" is included in CPI calculations.

@EricCrampton Not that I know of, just flooding the market

@nhotte Thanks. Wasn't sure if the Russian trawlers were blitzing the fishing grounds, to get as much as possible over the short term while ignoring effects on longer-term fish stock and harvest.

Russia being blamed for the collapse in ex-vessel prices for Alaska salmon: “Russia harvested pink volume equivalent to the entire Alaska pink annual forecast, and [are willing] to offload inventory at very low prices in part to fund the war in Ukraine” nationalfisherman.com/alaska/economi…
