« [I]n Quebec’s largest city, the Montreal Economic Institute is making waves. It researches and sparks debate on a wide range of issues including the quality of public education, health care and regulation, doing so in a province otherwise dominated by the single issue of separatism. Washington’s like-minded Atlas Economic Research Foundation says of MEI, «We consider it to be one of the beautiful success stories of recent years in the world of think tanks.» MEI is only five years in the making but in March it won the 2004 Templeton Freedom Award for Institute Excellence. »
