Ed Broadbent (L) with guest speaker Hugh Mackenzie
The national capital’s newest speakers series had a terrific launch today at the Sheraton Hotel. As it grows, it will be an effective way for organizations to put their views forward in Ottawa.
Speaker Hugh Mackenzie delivered a thought-provoking speech titled “Can we have an adult conversation about taxes?” He made a strong case for linking taxes to public services, and had words of caution for politicians – especially progressive politicians – against opposing taxes, and urged instead a vigourous defence of the public services they pay for. The Out Front speakers series, organized by the Rideau Institute and the CCPA, will return in January.
