Parliament's back and we're ready to rock

There's one choice we'd rather didn't have to be an option at the Consumer Choice Center, and that's people choosing to leave the emergency room even when they're in critical condition because the wait is just too long. We are joined by our first ever guest, the Montreal Economic Institute's Renaud Brossard, to talk about the MEI's latest report on the amount of Canadians leaving the ER untreated, and how we can make the system better.  You can read more about the MEI's research on this topic here: https://www.iedm.org/too-many-canadians-are-leaving-emergency-rooms-untreated/Support us: https://consumerchoicecenter.org/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today we sit down with Evan Swarztrauber to anlayze the resurrection of the Title re-classification of Internet Service Providers, otherwise known as net neutrality. While net neutrality is an important principle, when weaponized by the FCC and the federal government, it could have disastrous consequences for investment, free speech, and innovation across the board. Evan Swarztrauber is senior advisor at the Foundation for American Innovation and a former FCC policy analyst. Most importantly, he’s the host of the Dynamist Podcast! https://open.spotify.com/show/2Y0XBFBASZUuUN0z8hOl9n Evan's twitter: https://twitter.com/SayreEvan Website: https://consumerchoicecenter.org/radio ***PODCAST***  Podcast Index: https://bit.ly/3EJSIs3 Apple: http://apple.co/2G7avA8  Spotify: http://spoti.fi/3iXIKIS RSS: https://omny.fm/shows/consumerchoiceradio/playlists/podcast.rss Our podcast is now Podcasting 2.0 compliant!
