On the sense of hope, democracies' institutions—including governments, civil society and businesses—all need to deliver. That's important. It's one piece that can contribute to creating this sense of hope, but also, there are different sources for hope.
One is, of course, as you know, the economy, and governments delivering and democracies delivering, but it's also about agency. When people feel that they have agency, that they are able to shape the conversation, the politics and policies of the institutions of democracy, it gives them hope. It also comes from community organizations and civil society groups working hard to make a better situation for all Canadians.
Hope is critical for protecting our democracy, but there is not one source of hope: There are multiple sources, and they all need to work collectively to bring hope.
