Another, is by pioneering a national pledge, in the manner of Grover Norquist’s successful taxpayer protection pledge, to commit politicians to telling the truth. Goo...

The 2030 ProjectIs It Enough?A key objective of the Canada Disability Benefit is to reduce, and potentially, eliminate poverty among people with disabilities while ensuring that people are not left worse off than they were before. This means that the amount of the benefit needs to be adequate to lift people with disabilities out of poverty, which raises the billion-dollar question: how much money is needed to eliminate poverty among people with disabilities? Should everyone get the same benefit, or should it reflect living expenses and specific disability related needs? How can we ensure that private insurers and provinces don’t claw back the be...

American CrisisAmerican Crisis, Episode 7: Phil Napoli on the Fairness Doctrine and Fox NewsIf you’re anything like me, you’re somewhere between disappointed and enraged at the state of the American news media today. The right-wing media spreads lies (and gets caught doing it, as in the whopping settlement that Fox News had to pay to a voting systems company). Meanwhile, the mainstream media fails us as it prioritizes demands for corporate profit over the public’s best interests, and constantly engages in performative neutrality so as not to offend anyone.But what can be done? Is government regulation an option, given the importance of free speech and press rights...
