Policy magazine was founded in 2013 by political columnists L. Ian MacDonald and Lisa Van Dusen as a nonpartisan platform for insight and analysis on Canadian politics and public policy. Since then, we've broadened our editorial scope to include more US and international policy and politics, and expanded our readership with Policy Online and The Week in Policy. Policy, now with more readers than ever since shifting to online-only in 2024, is both written and read by current and former senior political and policy-making professionals, including veteran strategists, MPs and senators, diplomats, CEOs, academics, government relations specialists, career journalists.
