Just had a fantastic presentation from @bcpolicy.bsky.social about BC's economy and the fact that we have a revenue problem rather than a spending one. Spending compared to inflation and GDP is relatively flat across the last 25 years while revenue has dropped by nearly 5%. Was v. fascinating!

Authors @jaelrichardson.bsky.social & Catherine Hernandez talking abt their new books and process. Amazing to hear the stories behind the stories. Inspirational and fantastic. "A sculpture can't sculpt inside their body" sometimes you need to "use the residue" to distance yourself. #OLASC25 #TLSky
