I've spoken to hundreds of fans, current and ex-employees, ticket brokers, and many others to find out why VGKs sellout streak ended and why a new one is extremely unlikely to start soon.

Good on the Albertans and the people who wish they were Albertans for caring so much about municipal zoning.

I'm sorry to hear of the death of L. Ian MacDonald. Long before I became editor of Policy Options, I knew Ian through his writing -- in our pages and in the Montreal Gazette -- and from occasional encounters around Montreal. +
It is with great sadness that we share the news of
@policy_mag founding editor and publisher L. Ian MacDonald's passing at 78. Our hearts go out to those who knew and loved him.
After I arrived in Quebec to cover politics in 2003, I read him in particular for his understanding of Canadian Conservatism, Quebec Liberalism and his thoughtful, committed Quebec federalist perspective. He knew those political traditions inside and out. +
Ian edited Policy Options from 2002 to 2012. He was unfailingly generous with his thoughts and time. Just last year he dropped by our offices to chat politics and publishing. I valued his insight. You can see some of his Policy Options work here. policyoptions.irpp.org/autho…
