Events Description
Andrew Coyne is a columnist for The Globe and Mail. Born in Ottawa and raised in Winnipeg, Mr. Coyne is a graduate of the University of Toronto and the London School of Economics where he received a Master’s degree in economics.
Mr. Coyne has worked previously for The National Post, Maclean’s and Southam News, contributing as well to a wide range of other publications in Canada and abroad, including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, National Review, and The Walrus. He is also a member of the At Issue panel on CBC’s The National.
Mr. Coyne is the author of The Crisis of Canadian Democracy, which challenges Canadians to abandon their complacency regarding the state of their political system. He argues that beneath its traditional democratic rituals, Canada’s parliamentary structure has entered a state of advanced disrepair and offers prescriptive solutions to rebuild public trust and restore genuine self-government.
Mr. Coyne specializes in Canadian politics, economics, and public policy. He argues that Canada faces an unprecedented national security and productivity crisis, driven by psychological unpreparedness, a weak and underequipped military, insufficient independent foreign intelligence collection capability and rising geopolitical coercion from a shifting U.S. foreign policy.
