Media
My objective is to make both an academic contribution and to have an impact on Canadian policy-making and policy-implementation. I am a regular non-partisan public commentator, writing for print media, appearing on a variety of T.V., radio, and podcasts, and providing testimony to the House of Commons Finance Committee. I also write regularly on my blog and tweet regularly on a variety of public policy issues.
I've written a number of articles for the Globe and Mail, Macleans, the Ottawa Citizen, and the Huffington Post.
I've appeared before the House of Commons Standing Committee here talking about the GST tax credit and here on the lack of evidence regarding the efficacy of various boutique tax credits.
I have appeared on TVO's The Agenda a number of times including talking about the second-hand economy, offshore tax havens, and western alienation.
I have been on several podcasts and radio shows including, but not limited to, Politicoast, the Simi Sara Show, the CBC's 180, and Afternoons with Rob Breakridge, to name a few.
I have been interviewed several hundreds of times for various print media outlets on numerous public policy topics.
I am also a member of Informed Opinions, an organization dedicated to amplifying women's voices and working to achieve gender balance in the media by 2025.
I have also been a member of a number of expert panels, including but not limited to:
The City of Calgary's Financial Task Force (2019-2020)
