Scenario: You are the economic advisor for a Canadian politician (provincial or federal depending on topic).
The politician you work for is a member of the party that is associated with your assigned (not personal)
political view.
The politician is about to take part in a television debate with another politician with a set of opposite
viewpoints. You are writing a policy brief for them to prepare. The paper must include arguments on how to
reform your assigned topic area (e.g. healthcare, education, etc.). To avoid your boss embarrassing
themselves, each argument needs to be backed up by data or economic theory.
You must argue from your assigned partisan perspective. You are encouraged to look into party platforms, but
ultimately should come up with your own ideas and assessment.
Below are some prominent political parties in Canada according to their political leanings. The links lead to
