Lawyers on the election

With the dust settling on last night’s Conservative majority win, here are some thoughts from lawyers about what they think the win (and losses) mean. There’s likely more to come but this will give readers a bit to chew on right now.

"The Conservative Majority: What Next for Digital Policies?" by Michael Geist.

"An uncertain trumpet — why the liberals lost . . . and how we can win again" by James Morton, an unsuccesful Liberal candidate in last night’s election.
