What do you think is your most interesting hobby?
I collect weird reference books.
It all started when I was in the UofC library as a student and happened upon a book called something like "A Dictionary of Imperial Chinese Titles and Official Positions." Book was riveting, absurdly niche.

Just spent a nice evening at University District - what a permanent urban tragedy for Calgary that 80s UofC administration refused to let LRT run through campus. Imagine stepping off a train to the dense, mixed use walkable U District - a mile away from the train across Brutalism + parking lots.

I’ve got a family member - employed in her field (actuarial science) on Bay St. UofC grad. No degree mill. Leaving the country after trying to build a life here for nearly a decade

I was emphasizing your point that the Chicago School was bad at economics.
I used to work for N.O.R.C.
I asked a PhD economist from UofC to explain how a car engine worked. He couldn't even start but he drove a white SUV.
So cars get added to GDP but their Depreciation is not subtracted for NDP.

As a sidenote, I don't know if he remembers it, but @climatekeith.bsky.social was very kind to me many years ago when he pointed out a critical error in something I wrote for the UofC Policy School Blog about a decade ago.

We found kindred spirits with people at UC-Berkeley, which also wasn’t so dogmatic. (UofC, sadly, seemed to have shifted in the years after I left.)
Anyhow I was happy to be exposed to so many different kinds of theories.

@jeromyyyc.bsky.social if you’re making Calgary transit more expensive, it needs to be more reliable. The app constantly feeds misinformation, buses delayed daily, connections are inefficient. My son is trying to get to UofC for exam times and it’s a daily comedy of errors. Please fix it.

Also, I was on staff at UofC for 5 years. We got a 50% discount on classes and a masters program there was still PROHIBITIVELY expensive, even on software salary.
