It's always been part of the national vision.

For decades, we've prioritized electrical trade with the United States. It's time to reduce our dependence on them.

Liberalizing trade within Canada has long been a challenge. But recent moves by governments right across Canada are making big improvements, led by Atlantic Canada. My new report with PPF explores some the potential gains:

ppforum.ca/policy-spea... #cdnecon #cdnpoli
Free Atlantic: Unlocking Regional Growth - Public Policy Forum
Introduction Liberalizing trade within Canada has long been a challenge. Geographic constraints, infrastructure gaps, differences in language and culture, and easy access to a large market to the south have all dampened the volume of internal trade. Concerns over limited interprovincial trade have surfaced repeatedly throughout Canadian history, from early...

Hmm. Maybe our different tastes come from the fact you read a lot of fiction so you're used to (and perhaps enjoy) not knowing where it will go. I want all uncertainty resolved ASAP and tonnes of structure. Doesn't work so well in fiction. "And now I present a key plot point..."

What's more, I want every section to start off saying what it's going to do. If I have no idea where it s going then it's much harder to know what to focus on. "This section presents the results in three parts. First OLS. Then IV, then robustness." So helpful! Anyway to each their own.

I want to know if there's going to be a model before or after the data. Are there going to be simulations. Perhaps how the results are going to be presented. It gets me working on what to expect and saves brain from contemplating false paths. I really do like them!

I'm here to defend it. I want to know what's coming so I can ration my attention. If you know what's coming you can put things in context and not waste energy and lose interest wondering where it is going to go.
