Every year, MLI publishes its choice for policy amker of the year. While we are Ottawa-based and focused, that does not mean that we always choose an Ottawa figure (one year we chose Xi Jinping, for example) or even a person (another year our choice was the Supreme Court of Canada, which rumour has it mightily annoyed a judge or two). The key to our choice is always the person or institution that has had the greates effect on public policy, for good or ill.
This year’s choice was US President (and Disruptor in Chief) Donald Trump. I wrote the introductory essay that laid out the rationale for our choice. You can read it here.
