K. Milligan: Comments on the Conservative Fiscal Plan

We're a group of experts on Canadian politics and public policy. Ask us anything about the aftermath of the 2015 federal election.

We're posting this AMA a little early. Our guests will be answering questions from 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM.

Our federal election has brought in a change of government, with the Liberals now holding a majority of seats in Parliament. To talk about what this means for Canadian politics and public policy, we've brought in four guests—ask them anything!

  1. Lindsay Tedds (/u/lmtedds) is an economist and an Associate Professor at the University of Victoria's School of Public Administration, though she's currently on sabbatical at the University of Calgary. She specializes in tax policy and shares her views with the public on her blog, Dead for Tax Reasons, and in Maclean's.
  2. Emmett Macfarlane (/u/EMacfarlane) is a political scientist at the University of Waterloo whose research examines the relationships between rights, governance and public policy, with a particular focus on the Supreme Court of Canada's impact on public policy and political discourse under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
  3. Jen Gerson (/u/jengerson13) is a writer and editor at the National Post. She appears in outlets as diverse as the CBC and Canadaland to talk about both Albertan and federal political parties and political strategy.
  4. Bryan Breguet (/u/bryanbreguet) has a B.Sc. in economics and politics as well as a M.Sc. in economics from the University of Montreal. After doing doctoral coursework at UBC, Bryan went to teach economics at Langara College. He runs tooclosetocall.ca, a poll aggregation website, with the occasional collaboration with newspapers. (Note: Bryan will be joining us at 3:20 PM today.)
