While the likes of the Calgary School enjoyed direct political influence among conservatives, the logic of passive revolution indirectly brought their outlook into mainstream Canadian policymaking, even among superficially progressive administrators. perspectivesjournal.ca/mark-…

"The people don't necessarily gain when our public assets are sold ... It would be good to think, through public policy around making sure that the cost of living in Canada is stable and does not further increase," argues @jenhassum for @SundayTimesZA.
