“The MPM program changed the way I saw politics. Discussing issues with people from diverse backgrounds and viewpoints, working at all levels of government, gave me a better understanding of why and how politicians behave the way they do. The assignments and readings covered the inner workings and details of Canada’s government, which gave me the skills to answer technical problems when they arise. This program will give you the knowledge you need to hit the ground running, whether you work within the government, or you work with any organization that seriously deals with politics.” – Aaron Nava
