That is a hasty generalization, especially from an economist! Europeans can enjoy their thousands of downhill ski variations, but North Americans will keep our team sports on ice, thank you.

1. Two decades ago, a friend was a teaching assistant in a method course at UofT. A student came to see him because there was something wrong. Analysing the CES data, they found that Quebec was not more anti-immigration than other provinces. The student wanted to know where they had made a mistake.

Why public consultations are essential to good governance Public consultations are vital to Canadian governance. Weakening them risks poor policy, reduced trust, and democratic backsliding.

In the US, they’ve scrapped the rule to consult the public before repealing regulations. Up here, our government is gearing up to fast-track big projects.

Speed’s great, but skipping the people most affected? That comes with a cost.

I put my two cents into the debate at @policyoptions.irpp.org.
