Munk Dialogue with Andrew Coyne: The Crisis of Canadian Democracy

We are a long way from a fully functioning democracy, according to Globe and Mail columnist Andrew Coyne. That’s the main argument in his new book, The Crisis of Canadian Democracy, in which Andrew points to the many ways our political system is broken: a dysfunctional parliament, MPs whose party loyalty is valued more than their constituents’ concerns, and elections that reward regional interests at the expense of national unity. Andrew offers thoughtful and substantive solutions for how Canada can change course and make this country’s democracy work for the citizens whom it is supposed to represent.
