Democracy is often defined as government of the people, by the people, and for the people. It’s the kind of country most of us want to live in. For decades, the United States stood as a shining example, offering political freedom and an open market economy that produced the greatest goods and services of any nation and delivered a standard of living envied around the world.

As Canada’s closest ally and largest trading partner, the health of U.S. democracy and its economy has profound implications for Canadians, from border security and trade agreements to global stability and the example it sets for governance.

Today, however, the U.S. appears to have drifted far from that democratic ideal. One must ask whether it still functions as government of and by the people. Electoral districts have been gerrymandered—manipulated to favour certain parties—into safe seats for nearly all incumbents.
