Darrell Bricker, CEO Ipsos Global Public Affairs
John Ibbitson, Writer At Large, The Globe and Mail
Yves Giroux, Parliamentary Budget Officer
This month on The Monthly we’ll hear from the two guys who wrote the book on the impact of elite decision-making in Canada. In 2013 Darrell Bricker and John Ibbitson got together to pen The Big Shift – where they speak of how the Laurentian Elite were effectively responsible for shaping the Canadian identity. Is the Laurentian Club back? Or are we experiencing just an aberration of an over-bearing PMO courting potential candidates for the next election?
With hundreds of billions of dollars now on the table – PBO Yves Giroux is going to take a few minutes off the top of the show to walk us through the numbers – exactly how big is this transformation and why should we care who decides what.
