The Toronto-based Mackenzie Institute (despite a far higher profile in the late-1980s) appeared to mostly have been (from the 1990s until early 2014) the personal enterprise of one indigent person. The full name of the Institute was rendered in earlier years as The Mackenzie Institute for the Study of Terrorism, Revolution, and Propaganda. In early 2014, The Mackenzie Institute revamped its website and appears to have become more dynamic.
The Ottawa-based Centre for Immigration Policy Reform, which was founded around 2011, appears to have become more active in 2014. Its main leading figures were the late Martin Collacott, and James Bissett, both of them formerly being prominent Canadian diplomats and civil servants. The Centre argues for lowered numbers and more responsible selection and screening in immigration, temporary worker, and refugee policies.
ANALYSIS/OPINION:
Real geopolitical challenges are facing the next American president: North Korea, Turkey, Iran and China, for example. One hopes that this is where a Biden-Harris-led focus will be, rather than on convenient distractions and comfort zones called Russia.
One can fantasize that Joseph R. Biden as the next president, whether he won or not, will appease the mobs still on the rampage over Hillary Clinton’s defeat and reduce their continuing fixation with the Russian scapegoat. After all, it’s not the Russian virus we’re getting a vaccine for, and it wasn’t a Russian spy whom Rep. Eric Swalwell hired as a fundraiser and took an intern recommendation from.
