OU Education Services has the unfortunate birthday of April Fool’s Day, but nevertheless here we are at our one-year anniversary! 🥳 As I look back on the past year, it’s impossible not to think about how this transition has challenged and shaped us. Moving from being an embedded university department to functioning as an independent […]

Canada’s federal election has focused quite appropriately on the existential economic and sovereignty threat posed by Donald Trump. But there are other issues on voters’ minds, too, and continued concerns with ‘affordability’ rank high on that list. Incidentally, on that point the Centre for Future Work’s recent report, Counting the Costs: Impacts of the 2022 Oil Price Shock for Canadian [...]
