I don't know these people, they are certainly good guys with good intentions. But the site is just critical of the government - which is fine, of course, there is nothing wrong with it - but there is barely research in all the reports, no alternative models and options are shown, what they should do better, and how. It feels if you want a report critical of Canada, you can go there, and there is nothing else.

It's a journalistic magazine, not a scientific journal or a think tank. These are not "reports", they are articles, similar to what you would find in the Globe and Mail, or The Walrus. I am confused as to why this needs to be explained.

EDIT: Also:

It feels if you want a report critical of Canada, you can go there, and there is nothing else.

Again with the pseudo-patriotic BS. Being critical of Canada is not something to judge a publication about. We are a democracy. We get to fucking do that. We don't have loyalty tests.

Whether these are journalistic articles or not, I would expect to have sources and relevant information on how they come to their conclusions. There are no sources cited in the article.

Which housing bubble to they refer to, if there is one? How big is it? What could be done to avoid a burst? - Things like that out of journalistic investigation.

If they criticize it is all bad, they should at least have an idea why it's bad and what would be better.
