Latest Consumer Choice Center post from me and Elizabeth Hicks on the consequences of the new tariff reality for consumers in both Canada and the United States. We'll be updating as things come up. Give it a read for a full picture of what is going on. consumerchoicecenter.org/cross-border-c…

Great to join CP24 and Bakari Savage to talk about tariffs and why raising taxes on Canadians to respond to President Donald Trump's tax hike on Americans would only hurt Canadian consumers. youtube.com/watch?v=JRuAGs…

“DEA is granting an unfair edge to criminals who will never follow the law, leaving entrepreneurs in this sector, as well as customers, in a state of perpetual confusion and unease” Consumer Choice Center’s brilliant Yaël Ossowski⚜️ talking cannabis in O.C.

This potential "small" or more tariff on pharmaceuticals would hurt every American and Canadian because it will lead to higher drug prices, drug shortages, higher insurance premiums, healthcare job losses, a hit to the poor through more expensive generic drugs, and just a further

Great having @camjenglish on the Control Freaks podcast. Here's a clip from the latest, episode 3

In my debut for Newsweek, I tackle the mess that is the rollout of the U.K.'s #OnlineSafetyAct and why it should serve as a cautionary tale for lawmakers here at home looking to advance similar ideas:

wearables tech are doing wonders for health and wellness analytics, but they still cannot escape the grasp of the FDA. Is this the HHS posture that RFK Jr. was supposed to lead to make America healthy again? We discuss topics like this on CONTROL FREAKS open.spotify.com/show/1BjGid65z…

The anti-vaping movement? It's a familiar playbook. Swap in "alcohol" and you'll see the same arguments recycled from other campaigns. Same tactics, same targets—influencing policy and restricting choice. #VapingDebate #PolicyAnalysis #VapingDebate #PolicyAnalysis

🧵An interesting read from Dylan Scott at VOX, but one that is really missing a few major points. The first are the links the co-authors of the Alcohol Intake and Health Study have with Movendi (IOGT). vox.com/health/460086/…

On the Hill, making noise where it matters. Energy prices, competition, your future—consumers deserve better than backroom deals and stale policies. We’re here to shake things up and put choice back where it belongs: in your hands.

I'm in the National Post today talking about harm reduction and the fact that Ottawa keeps making it harder for smokers to quit nationalpost.com/opinion/sabine…

Consumer Choice Center is planting a flag in the debate on kratom, 7-OH, and all its metabolites to favor REGULATION over PROHIBITION Some states (and even FDA) want prohibition without discussion. That's bad news. The better path? A well-regulated market with age restrictions

Spot on from Elizabeth Hicks in RealClearHealth about reform proposals from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services regarding medical devices, which risk flooding the market with less reliable med tech. There's a better way 👇 realclearhealth.com/articles/2025/…

In Ohio, Florida, and DC, there’s a new drug war brewing against kratom and derivative alkaloids like 7-OH. We should be cautious before we launch the next war on drugs, which would cause further harm to consumers and families. my piece in Akron Beacon Journal beaconjournal.com/story/opinion/…

"What will tariffs on pharmaceuticals and the Most Favored Nation principle do to US Healthcare?" It was a pleasure to discuss the ramifications for patients on FOX 5 DC this morning. #MFN Consumer Choice Center

My colleague Jay Goldberg nails it here. Should alcohol have cancer warnings? torontosun.com/opinion/column…

The FDA is reigniting the War on Drugs — this time, against 7-OH, and alkaloid from kratom plant. Instead of smart regulation, they’re pushing a Schedule I ban — the same class as heroin and LSD. We don’t need more prohibition. We need policy grounded in science and consumer

A breakthrough for health and policy! GLP-1s can save lives and money, if we get the policy right. A new study by Frederik Cyrus Roeder 🇺🇦 and Emil Panzaru, shows how smart coverage can deliver better outcomes and lower costs. ↓🧶
