Well, that was really helpful to the discussion.
I used to subscribe to the thinking coming out of the Fraser Institute. Was impressed with some of the ideas and the progressive thinking. Unfortunately it went way too far a few years back, and Ezra Levant was a guy that completely turned me off. The guy is goof and I wouldn't let him consult on the operation of a lemonade stand, let alone the definition of public policy or private interests. Think tanks have a definite shelf life from my study of them. After about 10-15 years, they stop being effective in producing thoughtful positions. After that, they start attracting and developing like-minded individuals that pigeon-hole the thought processes and ###### the evolution of thought. I think the Fraser Institute hit that wall a few years ago and the quality of fellows they produce is proof of that.
