Another great podcast episode from @RyanAndrosoff this time with Andres Raieste from Estonia.

The End of the Ontario Digital Service and What it Means
Super sad if you care about functioning government (of any size).
In our latest podcast episode we explore the surprising and shocking news that was (quietly) announced a few weeks ago, namely that the Ontario Digital Service is being disbanded.

The ODS did important work over the past 7 years and we wanted to tell the story of the Ontario Digital Service through the eyes of some of the people who were there at the beginning, including @quepol, Karim Bardeesy, Tanya Coyle, and Honey Dacanay.
