December 2009-January 2010



• With the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Games coming, seven authors present their perspectives in our holiday issue. Among them, Richard Pound tells of his personal Olympic odyssey, Steve Elliott drills down on the problem of doping, and Peter Donnelly looks at Canada's Own the Podium program. And, a Policy Options/Nanos Research poll finds that Canadians favour stiff penalties for doping. In the Plus section, with the COP15 conference underway, we have a dossier on climate change: Velma McColl looks at the politics of a global deal, and Stewart Elgie and Stephanie Cairns look at the pros and cons of a carbon tax and a cap-and-trade system. Our third annual Mood of Canada poll finds Canadians in a better frame of mind this year than last year, and much more. Enjoy!
