The Cascade Institute offers here a strategic framework to revitalize and defend Canada’s
democracy.
The problems facing Canada—and weakening our democracy—are so varied and entangled
that it’s difficult to know where or how to start fixing them. This framework therefore uses
an analysis of the deep causes of our democracy’s current frailty to help Canadians identify
powerful ways to build our country’s economic and social resilience. It’s explicitly strategic, in
that it shows how these initiatives can be integrated with worthwhile ideas already circulating
to create a cohesive and synergistic action plan.
The Cascade Institute will apply this framework to guide and focus the now urgent
conversations—within governments, among policymakers and businesses, and across
Canada’s civil society—about how to save our country.
