Our colleagues at the CCPA’s National Office have launched a great new blog that will offer commentary on the federal election. Check out Making It Count for informative posts on income splitting, taxes, EI and more. Meanwhile, stay tuned to Policy Note for ongoing commentary on the busy BC political scene.

Policy Note named Blog o’ the Week by The Tyee

We are delighted to have been chosen as Blog of the Week by thetyee.ca:

September 1 is the other New Year’s Day: The start of a new school year, and in B.C. a sort-of new government with a new (but sadly old-fashioned) budget. Time to buckle down and get back to work, class.

Whether on paper or by texting, passing notes in class is a time-honoured tradition. So our Blog of the Week is Policy Note, which also happens to be one of the newest of B.C. Blogs.

Policy Note comes from the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, those troublemakers in the back row, and we look forward to its spitballs and rude noises while Mr. Campbell at the blackboard is trying to teach us a lesson we won’t forget.

And we always thought we were the geeks who stayed inside at recess to study. Thanks for the image makeover, Tyee!

Policy Note is live!
