“This project helps me think though how and when government or business expertise switching elsewhere walks the tightrope between effective and exploitative. A way to think about policy power and related presumptions. ”

“So many consolidation trends in the US spill over to Canada, and I learn so much from Matt Stoller's analysis and commentary. He has helped to get - and keep - competition issues on the political radar. Total fangirl. ”

“Bite sized and timely posts for your brain from a lively Canadian economist. ”

“("Graphic") Matt Elliot's weekly digest on City Hall is your best bet on staying briefed on Council proceedings and weird lobbyist stories. I trust him to tell it to me straight, cool graphics optional. ”

“"Understanding why people become deranged in our society — and how powerful people can weaponize untruths — can tell us an awful lot about what’s actually wrong, and might even help us fix it."

“More than a publication, A Good Think is an expression of the very freedoms PEN Canada exists to protect. When fewer questions can be asked, fewer stories told, and fewer perspectives explored, not only does our freedom of expression narrow but our ability to think freely.
