Read this on the plane flight home this morning and couldn’t help but think everyone should give it a read. Also shout out to author for actually visiting the places she writes about.

It has been the honor of my life to serve as Commissioner of BLS alongside the many dedicated civil servants tasked with measuring a vast and dynamic economy. It is vital and important work and I thank them for their service to this nation.

If your interested in the economic history of agriculture at this years #AAEA2025 there is a great session happing now in plaza room 6.

This feels like something that should be really basic, but for some reason I'm struggling with it. What are best practices for calculating SEs when aggregating data with survey weights. E.g. if I'm doing a DiD with CPS data and aggregate the data first at the state level.

As a proud Albertan it’s definitely Texas. The petro state aspect is uh slightly important… as is the whole cattle ranches history (and present). The Colorado aspect is definitely there as well, though I would say Colorado’s lack of oil disqualifies it.

Guess what all my Canada loving friends are getting for Christmas (as long as they watch hockey with me and apologize for the tariffs)

• Canada has borne the brunt of the damage from US tariffs so far, with its long-run economy -1.9% smaller in real terms. China’s economy is -0.2% smaller, about 2/3 as large as the hit to the US. The UK’s is 0.2% bigger thanks in part to the benefits of US-UK trade deal.

A ridiculously large blow up Canadian Maple Leaf at my party.

Well I was a tad bit disappointed not to be home for Canada Day… so I hosted a party down here complete with Poutine (made with Canadian potatoes), Molson, and Hawaiian Pizza with Gord, Stan, and Tom playing in background. You can take the boy out of Canada...

Thanks! ✊🇨🇦🇺🇦

During World War One, Canadians encouraged one another to Buy Canadian.

Now that Buy Canadian First had been revived, maybe it’s time to re-issue these cute stamps. What do you think Canada Post?

Based on a true story I might add.

A satirical article said Cape Breton has its own time zone. Google and Meta AI repeated it as fact | CBC Radio Janel Comeau wrote a satirical article for The Beaverton claiming Cape Breton had its own time zone — a playful piece, until Google and Meta AI took it seriously.

All shall pass, and to dust I shall return, but I hope that long after I am gone and forgotten, my voice shall still be explaining the origin of maize at the Field Museum in Chicago.

Sometimes I wonder why our Mounties can’t wear scarlet red windbreakers and Stetsons.

The image is the cover of the album Northwest Passage by Stan Rogers. The background is a solid blue, with the album title and artist name in a decorative, gold-colored font. "Stan Rogers" is written at the top, and "Northwest Passage" at the bottom. The central image is framed in a circular, nautical-themed border resembling a compass rose, with fleur-de-lis and other ornamental elements. Inside the circle, Stan Rogers is seated at a table covered with a map, holding a bottle, with a guitar leaning nearby. The scene evokes a sense of exploration and folk storytelling, fitting the album's 1981 release and its focus on Canadian maritime themes.

Northwest Passage - Stan Rogers (1981):

The fourth album from Rogers, it was heavily focused on the life and history of the Canadian West. It was his last album released before his sudden death on June 2. 1983. It featured his iconic song Northwest Passage.

Side note, I really really wish I would have studied more French in high school right now….

On my way to Montreal for the #CEA2025 #CAES2025 annual meeting and I am curious about what everyone’s favourite historic sights are in the city? If anyone else at the conference wants to join me for some Historic Adventures I’m all ears!

Prime Minister Mark Carney is received in audience by His Majesty King Charles III at Rideau Hall.

Grateful to have an audience with His Majesty King Charles III this afternoon.

Tomorrow, His Majesty will deliver the Speech from the Throne, nearly 70 years after Canada’s Sovereign first opened Parliament. It is an historic honour that matches the weight of our times.
