Britain’s Ministry of Nudges – NYTimes.com

A good in-depth profile of how the Cameron government is applying “nudge” to improve policy outcomes. Further ahead than the US initiative (easier to make things happen in UK). Not aware of any substantive work in Canada at the federal level, at least, to explore “nudges” as a policy tool.

It starts with recognition that existing government policy approaches have incorporated in their defaults some aspects of “nudges”; more awareness of these implicit biases makes for a good starting point, as well as the more in-depth and methodological approaches highlighted in the article.
