Canada’s democracy is in crisis. The third book in Nora Loreto’s landmark series warns that, with a fraying social safety net and corporations calling the shots, we risk losing democracy in our country.Canada’s social safety net is in tatters and corporations have too much power to influence economic and political outcomes. It’s no wonder that Canadian democracy is in a state of crisis. When the guardrails fall off of the economy and wealth inequality hits record highs, the population loses certain tools and levers to ensure that it can adequately participate in democracy. The result? Extraordinary powers held within the Prime Minister’s Office, widespread apathy, disengagement, and a rise of fascism. Activist, author, and journalist Nora Loreto continues the story of Canada’s untenable status quo in her third book of the Canada In Decline series. In Democratic Collapse, Nora Loreto takes the pulse of Canada’s democracy and warns that if we don’t re-democratize our institutions, we risk losing our democracy entirely. But, if we act fast, there are paths forward to fix what is crumbling around us.
