This budget could herald the beginning of a Pearsonian period of progressive policy making

What the new agreement gets right—and where there's room to go bolder

Gasoline prices are skyrocketing and that’s having a real impact on Canadians’ pocketbooks

Electric vehicles have emerged as the poster child of the zero-carbon economy. If we could only manage to replace all our internal combustion engines with batteries, it seems, we’d be well on our way to a greener world. But is achieving net-zero emissions really that straightforward? And is a society and economy dependent on personal vehicles—zero-emission though they may be—actually the future we aspire to?

The solution to high gasoline prices is to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels altogether

Convenient, accessible public transit isn’t a nice-to-have for cities. It’s an essential part of urban life and can’t be left to wither.

One solution to the transit death spiral is to make transit free for riders and find alternative funding. In the past decade, at least six towns in Canada have made public transit free on local routes, including three in Alberta.
