Description
With a fraying social safety net and corporations calling the shots, Canada's democracy is in crisis.
Canada's social safety net is in tatters and corporations have too much power to call economic and political shots. It's therefore no wonder that Canadian democracy is in a state of crisis. When the guardrails fall off of the economy and wealth inequality hits record highs, the population loses certain tools and levers to ensure that it can adequately participate in democracy. The result? Extraordinary powers held within the Prime Minister's Office, widespread apathy, disengagement and a rise of fascism.
Volume 1 in this series examined the rise and fall of Canada's social safety net. Volume 2, Corporate Control, identified why Canadian politicians seem so impotent in the face of corporate Canada.
In Volume 3 of the Canada in Decline series, Nora Loreto takes the pulse of Canada's democracy and warns that if we don't re-democratize our institutions, we risk losing our democracy entirely.
