Shauna Sylvester laments for our democracy.
While I think most Canadians want a federal government that sets national standards, promotes Canadian interests, values and assets in the global arena and provides leadership in addressing the social and environmental challenges we face as a nation, these young people have willingly forfeited their role in trying to mandate the government to perform these functions. It’s like we are caught in a negative feedback spiral.
