A Canadian’s Plea: Any Like-Minded People Around Here?

It looks like he’s already replied a couple of times in the comments section there, and he’s been informed of the Mises Institute of Canada, but if you know of anyone in particular, you might drop him a line.

I felt the same way for a while. But then I realized that Amerika is an empire, and as such, american politics and american economic issues have more influence over my life than Canadian politics and canadian economic issues are basically american economic issues. So who cares anyway? The Fraser Institute is a “free market” think tank that sometimes gets it right. Walter Block spent part of his career there. Actually, I just remembered that Doug Casey’s research institutes is also based out of B.C. He’s featured frequently on LRC. Ezra Levant gets it right sometimes. Especially his fight with the Alberta rights commission. I find all the Libertarian parties at the provincial and federal level to be lame. I don’t know why they put the Canadian Mises Institute in Toronto. They really should have put it here in Alberta, which is much more free and has a smaller public sector, and much more conservative/libertarian leanings than PC, highly regulated, multicultural Ontario.

But overall, I just read LRC.

I just keep up with American politics lately. Canada is boring and unimportant, even to Canadians. Whatever happens in the US is sure to cross the border anyway.

At least Canada’s Conservative Party is a little easier to swallow than the Republican Party, though.

You might look up Paul McKeever of the Freedom Party. He’s more of a lawyer than an economist though.
