Now in @apsrjournal: in a study of >800 politicians in four countries led by @jbpilet, we find that politicians massively overestimate how conservative citizens are, on a long list of policy issues. /1

2/ David Smith was a remarkable man of letters gifted with a synthetic intellect able to draw diverse threads together to fashion cohesive accounts of major political phenomena.

3/ He was also one of the most congenial colleagues one could hope to encounter in the academy and spend time with socially. A rare thing, I saw him successfully incorporate the insights of a major novelist—Henry Miller—into a professional political science presentation.

4/ Whether directed at political parties, parliaments, constitutions or provincial political culture, his thoughtful gaze deeply enriched our understanding of Canadian politics. Political science is the poorer for his passing.

Janet had been doing excellent polling work years before I came along. She didn't have to hire an uppity wannabe pollster, but she gave me a chance to work on my research chops while working for her for the better part of a decade. She became a valued mentor, colleague & friend.

The study of Canadian politics owes more to @rcjohnston3 than anyone else. His ambitions, rigor, depth, and love of the intellectual life have set the standard. Personally, he’s been a generous mentor and reference when I was not even his student. Happy retirement, Dick.

Excellent analysis
My take on the AB Budget. There is not actually a lot of waste in the AB system; Rather it's that for decades, the province wanted a Mercedes-level PSE system and now the Kenney government is more or less explicitly trading it in for a Honda. higheredstrategy.com/that-al…
