The immediate and devastating health effects of COVID-19 have eased in recent years, but the pandemic’s enduring influence continues to redefine nearly every facet of life in Canada. This first comprehensive analysis of the virus’s impact examines its effects across Canadian society and draws a blueprint for how multidisciplinary research networks can enable stronger responses to crises in the future.Lasting Disruption brings together leading experts to explore how COVID-19 reshaped the economy, healthcare, education, and public transportation. The collection addresses core issues such as economic disruptions, labour shortages, public healthcare impacts, and the pandemic’s disproportionate effects on Indigenous communities. Particularly revealing is the analysis of economic data: Canada suffered losses of approximately $242 billion over the first two years, with small businesses hit hard as corporations grew more profitable. The volume also examines post-pandemic struggles in educational attainment, fiscal impacts on public transit, and the Canadian Armed Forces’ role in pandemic response. It evaluates environmental outcomes, considers the complexities of policy coordination within a decentralized federation, and reviews changes, including constitutional ones, that would build a more resilient economy.Offering an original perspective on the breadth of COVID-19’s repercussions and practical recommendations for evidence-based policy in health, education, labour, governance, and equity, Lasting Disruption is essential reading for researchers, policymakers, think tanks, advocacy groups, and those interested in crisis preparedness and resilience planning.

For decades following the failures of the Meech Lake and Charlottetown Accords constitutional debate in Canada appeared largely dormant. This situation has changed markedly in recent years. Since 2021 Alberta has held a provincial referendum proposing the abolition of equalization, Quebec and Saskatchewan have each unilaterally amended the 1867 Constitution Act, and a bilateral constitutional amendment concerning Saskatchewan has been proclaimed with the support of Parliament.Amid the stagnation that has characterized constitutional amendment processes from the early 1990s onward, these developments are highly significant. They signal a renewed dynamism in Canadian constitutional politics driven by provincial action and warranting careful and systematic analysis. Bringing together contributions from leading experts, From Multilateral Failures to Unilateral Successes? maps the impacts of recent and ongoing constitutional developments. Chapters examine instances of unilateral provincial action, offer analytical perspectives on the broader implications of these developments for federal authority, and explore the conditions under which provincial unilateralism may succeed. As the book shows, these initiatives operate within a political and constitutional framework where bilateral and multilateral options remain available but under-exploited.At a moment when the Canadian constitution is once again being tested and reshaped, this volume makes a timely and essential contribution, demonstrating that constitutional change is not only possible but already underway.
