Confidence in our system of government is eroding, and recent political turmoil has only deepened the cracks. Many Canadians feel disconnected from decision-making processes, distrustful of institutions, and uncertain about the future. These challenges demand urgent attention, but they also present an opportunity to reimagine what a thriving, inclusive, and sustainable Canada could look like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.canadacoalition.ca\/\"><strong>Coalition for a Better Future<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;is committed to this vision. As a Canadian organization, the Coalition works to promote sustainable economic growth, foster social progress, and champion environmental stewardship. By bringing together a diverse array of voices\u2014business leaders, labor groups, community organizations, policymakers, and advocates\u2014it strives to build a future that ensures long-term prosperity, equity, and resilience for all Canadians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through thoughtful dialogue and collective action, the Coalition for a Better Future is convening Canadians to ask hard questions and develop practical solutions. By engaging diverse stakeholders, we aim to turn discontent into determination and division into unity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Meet Our Guest Speakers:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"240\" height=\"187\" src=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/politicalmanagement\/wp-content\/uploads\/AnneMcLellan_Headshot_2024-1-240x187.png\" alt=\"photo of Anne McLellan\" class=\"wp-image-6029\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/politicalmanagement\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/233\/AnneMcLellan_Headshot_2024-1-240x187.png 240w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/politicalmanagement\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/233\/AnneMcLellan_Headshot_2024-1-160x124.png 160w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/politicalmanagement\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/233\/AnneMcLellan_Headshot_2024-1-400x311.png 400w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/politicalmanagement\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/233\/AnneMcLellan_Headshot_2024-1-360x280.png 360w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/politicalmanagement\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/233\/AnneMcLellan_Headshot_2024-1.png 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/politicalmanagement\/people\/honourable-a-anne-mclellan\/\">The Honourable A.
