Benny Peiser, Director of the Global Warming Policy Foundation – May 23, 2013
Europe’s failing green energy model has enriched a green elite while plunging millions into fuel poverty.
Dr. Stephen Blank, Transport Expert – February 7, 2013
Inhibiting cross border integration with the United States and with Mexico makes the economy generally less efficient and raises costs. It’s a trade barrier that is found in many places and it makes things move less efficiently, raises the costs, and it increases environmental load because you are running more empty vehicles around.

Robert Nault, Former Minister of Indian Affairs – July 7, 2010
"That’s where I think the Frontier Centre for Public Policy really does make a big difference. You guys are out there saying go ahead and do it, here’s what you need to do and here’s why it’s important. I think more and more leaders are seeing what happens when you do do that. There are enough examples now of successful First Nations that you can’t say it’s not possible or they’re not capable. I think the next step is for people to grab on to it in a larger way and move quicker because they’re missing a lot of great opportunities and we’re missing a whole generation if we don’t move faster than we are now."
