Edited by Robert Asselin, our Vice President of Policy & Research, our book covers – in detail – what we think our country needs right now: bold and innovative policy prescriptions for a more progressive Canada.
The authors and contributors that have put their names and ideas in this book are some of Canada’s most respected thought leaders. They offer brilliant insights on issues like democratic reform, open government, security and intelligence oversight, privacy in the digital age, carbon pricing and more.
As we head into Canada’s 42nd federal election, our book stands as a marker for the issues and ideas that the next federal government will need to meet, head on, in order to make Canada a more dynamic, prosperous and progressive country.
