This study uses data from two National Graduate Survey (NGS) cohorts—graduates of 2015 and graduates of 2020—to investigate how educational credentials impact differences in early career income between Indigenous and non-Indigenous post-secondary graduates in Canada and whether these differences are conditional on the labour market returns to education credentials. The results suggest that increasing educational attainment (i.e., university, and more specifically graduate, degrees) as well as increasing Indigenous presence in certain fields of study could contribute to reducing early career income gaps. The empirical findings support calls for broad-based policies aimed at expanding Indigenous university attainment and raising labour market returns to Indigenous graduates' credentials as well as distinctions-based policies tailored to local contexts.

Communities across Canada face a shortage of medically trained professionals, the majority of which are nurses, as domestic supply has not kept pace with increasing demand for services. Alongside rising inflation, housing costs, and living expenses, persistent educational and accreditation inequities have created barriers and challenging contexts for internationally educated nurses (IENs) who aim to settle, integrate, and complete professional recertification processes to become registered nurses. This study explores the lived experiences of educational and accreditation factors from the perspective of fifteen recently migrated Filipino IENs in Victoria, British Columbia. Findings suggest that Filipino IENs experience financial and time barriers and deskilling which are part of an overarching theme of their credential recognition experience. The study offers policy recommendations for more equitable recertification pathways including provision of accessible information support pre- and post-arrival and increased collaboration between clinical practice programs.

In an era where memes and social media cross national borders, stereotypes can jump from one country to another. We tested the level of support for two public sector stereotypes from the United States in one Canadian province. A representative sample of 3,510 Quebecers answered questions about their public sector stereotypes, for teachers (n = 1,494) and police officers (n = 1,516). Although the support for the teacher as a groomer and police officers as trigger-happy is lower and less polarized than in the original studies in the United States, the profiles of citizens who support these stereotypes are similar.

This article analyzes recent developments in regional innovation policy linked to Quebec's innovation zones agenda. Using a case study of the Technum innovation zone in Bromont, this article questions the real novelty of this policy, its ability to stimulate and support the networking of innovation players, as well as its potential to foster the industrial transformation of the regional economy. We present a critique of the geographical dimension of this economic development strategy, which, in principle, relies on local assets and dynamics, but which, in practice, relies on dynamics that are uneasily geographically circumscribed and which will face local pitfalls, particularly in terms of limited infrastructure capacity and social acceptability. These questions of policy effectiveness relate to the multi-level governance model underlying its design, which does not reflect the complex overlap of stakeholders and their various objectives.

This study examines the relationship between the Big Five personality traits (Openness to Experience, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, Neuroticism) and self-reported job performance in a fully remote work environment. A survey of 239 federal government workers at the Canada Pension Centre, conducted in July and August 2021, used pre-validated measures for both the Big Five and job performance. Conscientiousness and Openness to Experience showed a positive relationship with job performance. Access to the outdoors had a positive moderating effect. These results enhance understanding of personality's impact on job performance during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Teleworking is a pervasive reality within public organizations, especially since the COVID-19 pandemic. However, as it is a complex reality affecting employees, managers, organizations, and society at large, it is of interest to question how its implementation can be improved. The purpose of this article is to analyze practical recommendations from a systematic review of the literature on the topic, based on the well-known and detailed review by Allen et al. (2015). The second objective addressed in this review is to determine how teleworking is studied and, therefore, what design should guide future research and would be useful to practitioners.

Does multilevel governance still have any relevance for understanding our political world today? This question is the starting point that informs Arthur Benz's (2024) latest state-of-the-art monograph. It is an important and remarkable question to ask, considering that multilevel governance as a concept has become a real growth industry in political science since it emerged in the context of European integration in the early 1990s. Today, scholarship spans a broad spectrum of research areas like comparative federalism and regionalism (Benz, 2016; Börzel & Risse, 2016; Hooghe & Marks, 2016), global governance (Zürn, 2010, 2018), municipal and regional governance (Conteh, 2020; Tatham, 2021), Indigenous-settler relations (Alcantara & Nelles, 2014; Breen & Thomas, 2021; Papillon, 2012, 2015) or European Integration (Hooghe & Marks, 2003; Kohler-Koch & Rittberger, 2006; Piattoni, 2009, 2010, for a general overview see Bache & Flinders, 2004; Benz et al., 2021; Enderlein et al., 2010).

Although these developments appear to point towards an erosion of multilevel governance, Benz argues the opposite, empirically and normatively. Despite significantly changing contextual conditions, multilevel governance has not become irrelevant. On the contrary, we have many reasons to critically reflect on how the concept can be applied in the current context, and how multilevel governance can still facilitate legitimate and effective policy-making. In his latest book, Benz offers convincing conceptual and theoretical innovations as to how scholarship needs to “rethink” multilevel governance after more than 30 years of research.

The exponential growth of social media, the dark web, cryptocurrency, international cartels, cyber attacks, the collaboration of terrorist organizations, the rise of self-regulated social media, and the complexities of money laundering are threats to Canadian democracy, the economy, and the rule of law. The global threat environment in an increasingly interconnected world indicates that Canadian security will be increasingly determined and shaped outside its borders via international events. Therefore, this administrative policy article argues that the lack of a spy agency solely responsible for foreign missions puts Canadians at risk at home and abroad. Moreover, the transition of the RCMP from contract policing into a federal police force dedicated only to national security and federal law enforcement, like the FBI in the US, is recommended. Finally, the creation of Canada's new protective service, rapid federal national security police force, and North American Rapid Law and Border Enforcement is urgently needed.

Cabinet ministers are formally equal but unequal in practice: for example, ministers may differ significantly in how they undertake policy activity. I use federal mandate letter data from 2015 to 2021 to explore variation in and correlates of ministerial policy activity. Both issue salience and portfolio prestige are strong, positive correlates of active policy work: more salient and prestigious portfolios are more likely to initiate new policy and supplement existing policy, and less likely to maintain policy status quos. Ministers' legislative and cabinet experience also matter, but in contrasting ways. Gender is not a significant correlate of policy activity.
