Michael Zwaagstra: Time to scrap the federal EV mandate
I have known Michael Zwaagstra for 33 years. He is one of my closest friends and more importantly among the smartest men I know. He has been writing advanced policy pieces in the education sphere since 1997. He is a senior fellow with not one but two policy think tanks, the Frontier Centre for Public Policy and the Fraser Institute. His first book, What’s Wrong With Our Schools and How Can We Fix Them, is a blueprint for fixing our messed up school system.
