Apologies for the delay. I was on the road yesterday.
After logging 600 km on the road, and getting up at 4 AM I did not trust my
ability to articulately share interesting reads.
Michael Chong’s Reform Act is gaining significant
momentum, and opposition. The Star updated us on the efforts to empower Members of Parliament and change how political parties operate.
Chantal Hébert discusses the communications
strategies being used by the Prime Minister’s Office on the Senate Scandal and
how it reveals their tone deafness.
Jon Lorinc might be the most interesting writer
chronicling Toronto politics. In the Walrus he compares Rob Ford to Don Quixote.
How increasing density would help decrease congestion in
Toronto. One of the most interesting aspects of congestion/sprawl in the GTHA is that people cannot afford to live in the areas they want and therefore must move to the suburbs and must own a car. This is something that is definitely reflected in my personal experience.
Martin Regg Cohn writes that an election is approaching for the province of Ontario. The NDP are doing well in the polls and are the
only party that has supported the minority Liberal government. Expect the Wynne
government to lose the budget vote in the spring, Cohn warns.
Christopher Moore reviews a book analyzing Westminster
parliaments in the Anglo-world. Moore’s review highlights to what extent Canada is an outlier.
Worth Watching
Patrick Klepek, news editor at Giant Bomb, recently spoke
at a TEDx talk about internet etiquette.
