The majority of his speech dealt with how business people should be confident in the city's future because of the strength of the public sector and knowledge-based industries.

Amid the attention being given to the CRIA/Pollara survey and the CATO report on the dangers of the DMCA, I nearly overlooked an important op-ed from Professor Tom Flanagan, a hugely influential political scientist widely described as Prime Minister Stephen Harper's political mentor.
