Submission
Connecting Canadians
Canada’s airline sector is failing to deliver affordable, reliable connectivity. This submission to the Competition Bureau, which I helped develop during my time at CAMP, argues that market forces alone cannot fix the current duopoly. Drawing on lessons from the U.S. and Australia, it proposes bold interventions to foster competition. Recommendations include dedicating Bureau resources to monitoring, reducing airport fees for low-cost carriers, and adopting new models for regional access.

The UNESCO Courier - Education in the age of artificial intelligence
The provided documents from The UNESCO Courier examine the complex integration of artificial intelligence and digital technology within global education systems. While innovations like generative AI and online tutoring offer personalized support for marginalized learners, the texts highlight significant risks regarding data privacy, misinformation, and the digital divide. Case studies from Africa, China, and Estonia illustrate how "edtech" can address teacher shortages but also warn against a "mechanical" approach to schooling that lacks human empathy.

An explainer outlining Canada’s parliamentary democracy. As the federal legislature, Parliament passes national laws on issues affecting the entire country, such as trade and defence. It comprises three key pillars: the Monarch (represented by the Governor General), an appointed Senate providing regional representation, and an elected House of Commons representing the population. Together, they propose, debate, and pass legislation.
