Canada's Coherence Gap
Canada has never been held together by geography, ethnicity, or religion alone. From Confederation onward, it has been an experiment in building a society around shared civic values, and that experiment requires coherence. When institutions, laws, and communities reinforce one another, trust grows. When they don't, the distance between our ideals and our lived experience becomes impossible to ignore.
What happens when a country stops living up to the story it tells about itself?
"Hope is not believing these gaps will close on their own. Hope is choosing to close them."
