MPP instructors co-author new op-ed about the prospect of a digital Canadian dollar

McMaster University Digital Society Lab researchers Ori Freiman, Anwar Sheluchin, Jordan Mansell, and John McAndrews have published an op-ed in The Globe and Mail calling for greater engagement from both elected officials and the public on the potential introduction of a digital Canadian dollar.

Ori and Jordan are instructors in the Master of Public Policy in Digital Society and Clifton is an Associate Professor in the Master of Public Policy in Digital Society.
