Reclaiming Our Democracy
“When the broad middle participates, a country finds its balance. When it stays home, others decide its future.”

This category examines the social forces that influence Canada’s economic trajectory, from demographic trends to cultural attitudes toward work, responsibility, and community. The goal is to understand how society itself shapes the conditions for prosperity.
