Celebrate Canada 150 with a look back at our past
MLI has concluded its Confederation Series, an examination of the historical figures who founded Canada, with a celebration of Sir John A. Macdonald and Sir D'Arcy McGee.
The June edition of Inside Policy also looks back at the series as a whole.
We also have a video of Sir John A. Macdonald delivering a toast to the colonial union following the famed Charlottetown Conference in 1864.
How can Canada become a world leader in strong intellectual property rights?
MLI has released a series of papers that answers that exact question.
The series wrapped up on June 15, 2017 with an event featuring Parliamentary Secretary David Lametti.
Ottawa's plan to buy interim Super Hornets will cost more and fail to give the Canadian Forces the fighter it needs, says a new MLI report.
The report earned the authors coverage in the Ottawa Citizen and on Newstalk 1010.
Ottawa's new foreign workers plan should help rural areas, Coates tells BNN
Ottawa's recently-announced Global Talent Stream program needs to deliberately plan for helping to settle foreign workers in rural areas, Ken Coates said in an interview with BNN.
MLI authors were at the forefront of analysis and thought leadership on the government's long-term plan for the Canadian military, announced earlier this month.
Check out all the Inside Policy items on the Defence Policy Review here.
The future of Canadian journalism was up for debate between Andrew Coyne and John Honderich on June 6, 2017.
Coyne and Honderich staked out opposite sides on the motion: "The government must act to save journalism in Canada" in the latest entry to the Great Canadian Debates.

Environmental Assessment has been missing the big picture, writes Bram Noble in a new paper for MLI. A new process is needed to deal with cumulative development issues and Indigenous needs upfront, allowing for more efficient and effective reviews of individual projects.
Why you can't support a carbon tax if you want to raise the minimum wage
Politicians like Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne who support a carbon tax and a minimum wage increase are caught in an unresolvable contradiction, writes Brian Lee Crowley.
