MBP Intelligence Briefing

MBP Intelligence

The MBP Intelligence Briefing gets past the headlines into the policy shaping Canada: legislation, budgets, regulatory decisions and the politics driving them. Completely free and ad free. Hosted by Shannon Phillips with Ken Boessenkool, Tyler Meredith and Ben Woodfinden, the panel comes at policy from across the political spectrum: Liberal, Conservative and NDP. No punditry. Just the read from people who’ve written policy, not just commented on it. Each week they examine the fiscal, trade and regulatory decisions shaping business and government.
