US Policies
Canada often ignores policies already tested successfully elsewhere.
This matters now because policy failure is costly.
This initiative evaluates which US and other country policies could be adapted to benefit Canadians.
The past
Canada once pragmatically adapted external policy innovations rather than reinventing the wheel.
The problem
Affordability pressures, AI disruption, income stagnation, and immigration misalignment persist while Canada resists learning from US policy experiments.
If nothing changes: Canada falls further behind.
Why existing approaches fall short
Policy debates are ideological rather than empirical. Outcomes matter less than intentions.
Our initiative
What we will do:
Track new US policies, measure results, and assess which can be responsibly adapted for Canada.
Metrics:
-
Effectiveness of US policies
-
Projected Canadian impact
-
Required Canadian adjustments
Outputs:
-
Quarterly tracking updates
-
Bi-annual opportunity reports
What funding enables: research, modeling, dissemination
Timeline: First report within 9 months
Two futures
Positive: Canada adopts what works.
Negative: stagnation persists.
Why this organization
We prioritize evidence over ideology. Experts evaluate outcomes; Canadians gain clarity.
