Parliament Needs to Get Back to Work
What do pot sales and bringing back the long-gun registry have in common? A lot, according to this Federal Government. They both waste time. Wasting Parliament’s time with foolish campaign promises that were made to be broken confirms what we said during the last...
Canada Goes to Pot

You might have heard the Liberals' 2017 Budget announced $950 million would be spent on a new SuperCluster program. The CBC included it as a highlight, the Sun mocked it, and Maclean's criticized it as just another example of bad economic policy. It's only when you...
Report from Parliament – March 2017
