What is Stephen Harper's Conservative government going to do next? What are they thinking? Who are the real decision-makers -- and who are the powers behind the throne?

Those aren't just fascinating political questions, they're also critical business intelligence questions for people and organizations affected by the government, or trying to influence the government.

No one in Canada is better positioned to help decipher what's really going on at Parliament than Ezra Levant.

For fifteen years, Levant has been an insider with the Conservative Party, working closely with many of its senior decision-makers, right up to the Prime Minister's Office. And, as the founder of the conservative-leaning Western Standard magazine – which was considered bed-time reading by most of the Conservative cabinet – no one has a better read on Ottawa's pulse, or better access to what the new government is really thinking. Where other journalists and lobbyists are shut out, he has the inside track.

When not advocating for the Nation’s ring-wing conservative movement, he works as a columnist for Canadian Lawyer magazine and various newspapers. He is also the author of Shakedown: How Our Government is Undermining Democracy in the Name of Human Rights. Part memoir, part investigative journalism, this is a shocking and controversial look at the corruption of Canada’s human rights commissions. Levant’s latest book, Ethical Oil: The Case for Not Buying Oil from OPEC Nations, will be out in March 2010.

Levant has always been known for his lively and entertaining presentations. With his unparalleled access since the last election, he is a "must-have" sherpa for anyone trying to climb Parliament Hill!
