Document Summary
Healthcare, pensions, workforce, economy - how you will care for people who don"t contribute through work, balance issue. Region: more when we talk federalism problems identifying east & west, how it impact canadian politics and federalism, regional problems. Gender: 52% are women, wouldn"t know it to look at our political institutions - clear imbalance of power. Issues listed may not be key to all. Class: most of us are middle-class (80%), everyone thinks they"re middle class. Less are upper class (~4%) - overly represented, drawn to politics, because they can, they care, they have time and have friends who will help them. If you see that as a problem - classism is problematic. ~16% poor - not well represented at all (9% w/ lico- low income cut off) Religion: schools, values, less relevant than past. School system still religious based - values cross-cut religion. Important to american political culture, rather than canadian. Ethnicity and visible minorities: french, english, race discrimination.
