I have been looking, unsuccessfully, for a report he produced for the Government of Ontario called "Ontario in the Creative Economy". If anyone finds it, please insert a link.

It seems like much of this content should be in a " The Rise of the Creative Class article. I don't see much about him as a person in this article. 132.159.119.30 16:57, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
If anything....
I have removed the following small para:
It is unsubstantiated and from my experience of RF's influence here in the UK it is untrue. In fact his theories have been embraced by the british government, unlike the US Govt. resulting in work on the redefinition of industrial indices and educational initiatives such as creative partnerships. : DavidP 02:26, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

I reinserted "to his wife" after married because Canada is a civilized country where men can marry men. Although not in Prof Florida's case. Bellagio99 ( talk) 00:15, 17 September 2010 (UTC)
