Kathleen Wynne & Philippe Couillard: Are Canadians Losing Trust in Democracy?
Description
Former premiers Kathleen Wynne and Philippe Couillard join Steve Paikin at York University’s Glendon College to discuss the rise of populism in Canada, decreasing levels of trust in government, and the threat populism poses to democracy in Canada. They also discuss where things went wrong, rising levels of inequality, the disenchantment young people feel with the political system, why young folks are skewing right, and what can be done to restore trust in democratic politics.
Panelists also include Obama Foundation scholar Victoria Kuketz and Allen Sutherland from the Institute on Governance.
