I’m a bit put off by our rating now placing behind Brazil as I’m pretty sure in practical terms Canada is still more Democratic in many aspects. Does it mean we’re not sliding? I’m certain we are,but I think methodology might be flawed and as a result we’ve got sensational-ish content.

TBF - yes democracy is sliding in Canada, just look at recent government moves i Quebec and Alberta as a sample. Meaning we have to fight for it at the polls and on the streets. It’s far from “game over” but it could be at some point.
