Sabrina Maddeaux: Our ‘dysfunctional’ Access to Information system is feeding Canadians’ distrust

Canada has a trust problem, and it’s not one we can afford to overlook. While, for some, “trust” means little more than some vague feel-good vibes, it’s actually a foundation of any functioning society.

When trust begins to erode, it’s very difficult to stop the spread. Distrust may begin with one institution or political party, but it almost inevitably begins to consume others. It eventually reaches outside the political realm, affecting neighbours and communities. Recent polls show only one-third of Canadians believe most people can be trusted.

I don’t trust this article. At no point is the balkanization of Canadian society from mass immigration mentioned.
