Mediocre political scientist interested in social policy and Canadian federalism. Tiresome Hamilton nationalist and BA Johnston fan. Go Forge!

In the mid-20th c. lower-income and less educated voters largely supported left-wing parties, while wealthier and more educated groups leaned right. This pattern has fractured. Broadbent Fellow @pgraefe.bsky.social w/ @mattpolacko.bsky.social & Simon Kiss explore the working-class vote in Canada.

New piece with @pgraefe.bsky.social & @sjkiss.bsky.social for the @ca.theconversation.com asking: "What Canada’s public sector voting divide could mean for future elections" Based on our recent publication in the @csa-scs.bsky.social #polisky #cdnpoli #canlab theconversation.com/what-canadas...

What Canada’s public sector voting divide could mean for future elections
New research suggests the government’s intention to reduce the size of the federal public service could very likely drive some Liberal voters back to the NDP in the next federal election.

If you need a primer on Canada's beneficial ownership registry, and why we need it, this is a good place to start:
