Women Create Opportunities
Underlying the success of both the Centre for Integral Economics
and Markets Initiative is their founders’ ability to create
new opportunities by bringing the right people together from
all sides... Morton and Rycroft have found that true change
is possible only when all sides are given an equal voice.
With a sprinkle of business speak, and a large dose of emotional
intelligence, these women have opened up the channels of communication
to bring economy and ecology together in ways that serve to
benefit all of us. [Full

The Tax Shifter
"She's part of a think-tank that wants to slash property taxes,
business taxes and even income taxes — and boost taxes for
polluters and SUVs. Donna Morton the tree-hugger has become
Donna Morton the tax-shifter, heading a small but influential
west coast think-tank." [Full

Winnipeg's New Deal
Winnipeg's New DealMayor Glen Murray and the City of Winnipeg
are leading the country in calling for a "New Deal" that will
revitalize Canadian cities and rural places. They are studying
municipal tax shifting to rejuvenate their downtown core,
reduce pollution and create jobs. Introducing smart taxes
first will put Winnipeg ahead of its time, and make it a leader
in the new economy. Other municipalities and higher jurisdictions
will follow. Integral Economics was consulted by the City
on municpal tax shifting. [Winnipeg

Crossroads: Economics, Policy and the Future
of Grizzly Bears in British Columbia
In this report, the Centre for Integral Economics shows that
grizzly bear viewing is conservatively worth $6.1 million
annually in British Columbia, while the hunt brings in only
half as much. The argument to maintain the hunt as a significant
economic benefit is found to be flawed. [news release, report,
