From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Andrew Coyne is the national editor for Maclean's, a weekly national newsmagazine in Canada. Previously, he was a columnist with the National Post. He studied at the University of Toronto's University of Trinity College, receiving a BA in economics and history, and he received his master's degree in economics from the London School of Economics.
Coyne has said that he considers the political labels "left" and "right" to be "tribes" of "self-quarantine."[1] He endorses a strong Federal government[2], more market based economic solutions [3], and a stronger role for Canada in the War on Terror[4]. Coyne is also a proponent of proportional representation in Canada's House of Commons[citation needed].
