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!

I love Ctrl+F. Been using it with students for years now.
Learned about the Ctrl-F project by @civixcanada.bsky.social at the Ontario Library Superconference last week. Really love the Example bank which offers current examples of misinformation and lesson ideas. #TLSky #EduSky
