Announcing a New Forum for Policy Discussions

Dear Blindingly Obvious Friends,

I am excited to announce that I will be collaborating on a new Substack called SAGE, which is launching this week. We are a group of public policy "veterans" who will be providing analysis and recommendations on the big, difficult issues facing Canada.

This week’s edition has five pieces:

● Policy’s Role in Innovation and Productivity –Necessary but not Sufficient, by Peter Nicholson

● Don’t Be Stupid When Trading with Frenemies, by Dan Ciuriak

● The Volume is Rising on Trump’s Threat to Canadian Unity, by Dale Eisler

● From Davos to Davos: Some Grounds for Optimism, Perhaps, by Don Wright

● Nationalism and Continentalism: The Trump Challenge is Bred in the Canadian Bone, by Edward Greenspon

Please check it out.

While I am excited about SAGE, I intend to continue posting at Blindingly Obvious. I am deeply appreciative of those of you who have been reading, and commenting, on my ruminations.
