Episode description
According to acclaimed journalist and political pundit Andrew Coyne, there are cracks in Canada’s democratic institutions that urgently need to be fixed before they cause even further damage to our society.
“We have not become a dictatorship, but we are no longer quite a democracy,” Coyne said at this year’s Faculty of Law’s Merv Leitch Q.C. Memorial Lecture series that took place at the University of Alberta. “We no longer live under the system we think we do. We have the form of a democracy, but not the substance.”
On this week’s episode of Think, we proudly present Andrew Coyne’s lecture ‘The Alarming State of Canada’s Democracy’ that he delivered in Edmonton, Alberta on November 4th, 2013.
