Dear Friends,

I hope you are keeping well.  If you haven’t gone to the Institute’s website over the past few days, we’ve got lots of great commentary on recent policy announcements and material related to COVID-19. 

Here are a few examples:

• Ottawa enacts measured, well-targeted response to coronavirus downturn, published in the Financial Post, by Niels Veldhuis and Jason Clemens
• Stabilizing income vs. economic stimulus—what’s the difference? published in the Fraser Institute Blog, by Jason Clemens, Niels Veldhuis and Milagros Palacios
• Don’t shoot the financial-market messenger, published in the The Conversation, by Stephen Kirchner
• If history is any guide, COVID-19 will transform Canada in heretofore unknown ways, published in the Fraser Institute Blog, by Livio Di Matteo
• Tax breaks—not government ownership—to mitigate Ottawa’s harm, published in the Calgary Sun, by Robert Murphy

We also have a new series on Modern Monetary Theory, which seems to be gaining traction and support among politicians in these uncertain times, authored by Fraser Institute Resident Scholar and Professor Emeritus, Western Washington University, Steve Globerman. Here is part one:

• What is Modern Monetary Theory and why is it gaining currency in these volatile times?
