NDP leader Jagmeet Singh meets with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Parliament Hill in Ottawa on Thursday, Nov. 14, 2019. The chance to make history isn't the best reason the Liberals and NDP have to reach an agreement on pharmacare, but there's something to be said — maybe even a lot — for stability. The confidence-and-supply agreement between the Liberals and New Democrats — the deal that has helped keep this Parliament on track — is unprecedented at the federal level. The Liberals do not appear to have the fiscal room to cover that and the NDP has not demanded it. The NDP could still see plausible reasons to walk away from the confidence-and-supply agreement.

Taiwan’s democratic resilience is no coincidenceAlthough those involved in the decentralized social movement community usually operate on their own initiative, their ability to counter PRC influence operations works like a chain or cycle. However, the Taiwan model gives concrete examples that Canada might wish to follow if it wants to enhance its digital and democratic resilience. To date, Ottawa has only published several strategic communications documents on the Russian invasion of Ukraine, along with some general toolkits aimed at protecting democracy (Canada 2024). “2024 Taiwan Election: Preliminary Analysis of the Foreign Information Manipulation Impact Observation.” [Author’s translation.
