OTTAWA - A slightly fuzzy, zoomed-in screen grab from question period took a brewing controversy for Environment Minister Leona Aglukkaq, and crystallized it into a tale of callous indifference.

The Broadbent Institute today announced the launch of PressProgress, a new project to advance progressive solutions for Canada with hard-hitting news and analysis.

Pressprogress.ca cuts through the day’s political spin with facts and an informed point of view. From punchy blog posts to a daily web roundup of progressive news and views, PressProgress is a must-read to spur positive change.

“As the policy debate heats up in advance of the 2015 federal election, PressProgress will be one of the ways the Institute contributes to that debate,” said Broadbent Institute Executive Director Rick Smith.

The launch of PressProgress continues to build on the Institute’s work, including the rapidly expanding training and leadership program.

“PressProgress is another avenue for the Institute to press for progressive change,” said Smith. “With a strong voice and blunt analysis, people can count on PressProgress to be hard-hitting, progressive, and always focused on the facts -- whether talking about the economy, the environment, or democratic renewal.”
