IDEA on Canada www.idea.int/blog/protests-emergency-powers-and-democracy-hard-choices-canada Opposition International focuses on the regions and countries where opposition parties face systemic pressures including surveillance, censorship, banning, and imprisonment. Canada stands out as among best countries in which the Official Opposition may operate. The blog here sourced from IDEA, a pre-eminent democracy organization, covers Canada and the recent invoking of the Emergency Act by the government. It is posted here as a good example of how IDEA uses its democracy indicators index to produce an overall analysis of state and progress of democracy in a country. We recommend that students of democracy study and learn from IDEA’s excellent work. ShareEmailTweetTelegramShare on TumblrWhatsAppLike this:Like Loading...
