Wellington calling

Ah, New Zealand - where they wear hats on their feet, hamburgers eat people, and they populate their legislature using a wacky electoral system called mixed-member proportional representation. In light of the upcoming referendum in Ontario, my latest at Macleans.ca looks at the country's decade of MMP and what it can teach us.

Personally, if anyone cares, I think it's pushed me a little more towards the "yes" side - if only to make politicians' lives miserable, which, funnily enough, was no small part of the decision down under.

Other recent content from the day job includes a vigorous Fact Checking of an Ottawa Citizen story that wildly oversold a new study on how boys react to male vs. female teachers.
