Simpson on Canada's Consumer-Based Model of Politics




More than four decades later, Mr, Harris's realistic analysis still holds.  Canadian politics has moved into an ear when voters no longer think much of themselves as citizens, with duties and obligations and longer-term perspectives but as taxpayers in a consumer society who shop among politicians for those who will give the most at the lowest cost.

Totally agree - and it's a problem.  So, what do we do about it?.
