We are getting really close to finalizing the agenda and announcing speakers (lots of big names!) Here's the outline for the two days:

Vasiliki (Vass) B. and Denise Hearn delivered an excellent presentation yesterday of The Big Fix, their new book that critically explores industry concentration in Canada at an event hosted by the Max Bell School of Public Policy who I've had the pleasure of collaborating with in my past role at Ville de Montréal. I had only briefly encountered Dr. Bednar's work through her Rags and Riches Newsletter, the duo was a wonderful revelation. In The Big Fix, the authors unpack the dynamics of market concentration across sectors like groceries, AI, and financial services (among other unusual suspects), underscoring how market capture hinders R&D, stifles creative disruption, impacts SMEs, and ultimately harms consumers and as the quote on page 83 states, promotes exploitation. They analyze the limitations of competition policy and suggest bold, actionable measures, addressing necessary (and difficult) shifts in culture and systems alongside regulatory amendments, inter-government alliances and democratization efforts. These solutions are neither idealistic nor overly simplified but nuanced and practical—some, like boosting reporting and ethical research on corporate power and competitiveness, offer near-term or rather quicker fixes. This fast reading, witty book is far from "fast-food" reading; it tackles complex issues and can easily serve as a gateway into deeper non-partisan discussions on trade agreements, grassroots policy change, and more. The Big Fix is designed to make policy accessible and is ideal for anyone curious in current events. It’s thought-provoking and a great read for all idealists and pragmatists our there hopeful about strengthening institutions.
