Opinion | BY SHEILA COPPS | March 7, 2024
The centrist party Mulroney led no longer exists. Instead, anti-government ex-Reformers have taken centre stage in the Conservative movement. The notion of collective responsibility has been replaced by rabid individualism. Mulroney understood that there was no place in politics for hate, writes Sheila Copps. The Hill Times photograph by Sam Garcia

New federal Innovation Minister François-Philippe Champagne, pictured on the Hill on Feb. 6, 2020. Canada has allocated $3-billion over five years under its Strategic Innovation Fund and its mandate includes support and development of 'a Canadian battery innovation and industry ecosystem' but without a business-led battery enterprise with the technology that meets industry needs, Canada may end up being a niche player, writes David Crane.
