abstract
| - From the longer Wikipedia page [1] The Atlantic Institute for Market Studies (AIMS), describes itself on its own web front page as "an independent, non-partisan social and economic public policy think tank based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. It examines such crucial issues as public education, health care, public finances, equalization, natural resources, Atlantica and demographics." As its name suggests, it takes a generally pro-free-market anti-regulation stance on many public issues, including private participation in Canadian health care. It argues for the Atlantica (trade zone), essentially closer trade and investment ties with (and deregulation in synchronization with) New England and New York (which its critics describe as a race to the bottom in protections for the public. The Atlantica Party shares some of these positions but is not formally allied to AIMS. AIMS is sometimes described as Nova Scotia and New Brunswick's east-coast version of the Alberta/BC Frontier Centre for Public Policy. The two organizations cooperated in releasing simultaneous "report cards" for schools in March 2011. It is sometimes described as a right-wing response to GPI Atlantic and positions taken by Council of Canadians and Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives and ecology NGOs such as Sierra Club of Canada, Ecology Action Centre and Greenpeace.
