Youth have the answers - we need to involve them in finding the solutions.
Canada's patriarchal political system needs a revolution. And youth need allies - those who are willing to leverage their political capital to include youth to develop better policies and programs.
From the rooms of political power, leaders from across Canada are standing up to say the systems for youth engagement are broken. Canada's Ambassador to the UN, Bob Rae, Senators Stan Kutcher and Marilou McPhedran, Order of Canada Recipient Irwin Elman, staff of the Prime Minister's Youth Council, and civil society leaders from across Canada are striving to make political space for the voices of those who know what is happening here and now within our schools, mental health supports, and child protection services.
Renegade Politics offers stories of shock, inspiration, and hope. With an increased sense of humanity and some genuine curiosity, we can bring marginalized youth into the rooms of power and create a more inclusive, just, and caring Canada.
