The Founding Fathers never intended to include people like them in representative governance. In that way, the framers of democracy punched above their moral weight. Now, racially diverse leaders are breathing life and justice into principles that have been mere words until this point. The generosity of their vision is pushing the nation to deliver on the ideals that are enshrined in its foundational documents but have yet to be realized.

In celebration of President’s Day, it is fitting to understand why Lincoln, in a 1982 poll of forty-nine historians and political scientists, was voted the best US President in history. The participants rated every President through Jimmy Carter across five categories - leadership abilities, accomplishments/crisis management, political skills, appointments, and character/integrity. Lincoln scored first in each of the five categories! The most lasting accomplishments attributed to Lincoln are the preservation of the Union, the vindication of democracy, and the death of slavery, all crises that would have ended differently under a lesser man in office. However, his greatest achievement was his ability to energize and mobilize the nation by appealing to its best ideals, in the pursuit of a more perfect, more just, and more enduring Union. No other President in US history has faced a greater crisis and no President accomplished as much. #leadership #presidentsday #realestate

It's incredibly frustrating when a democratic nation finds itself united in disapproval of its leadership, especially when that disapproval slowly but surely spans across political divides. The current widespread dissatisfaction with the direction led by Justin Trudeau and the Liberals underscores this sentiment. In such instances, there should be mechanisms in place to reflect the collective voice of the people. It's only fair that a government, facing disapproval ratings as dire as those of the Liberals, be compelled to reassess its position, perhaps even triggering an automatic withdrawal from any coalition. It's high time our governance system truly reflected the will and interests of the people it serves. #CanadianPolitics #Leadership #GovernanceReform #cdapoli #cdnpoli #justintrudeau #pierrepoilievre

How President #Biden's tenure will be recorded in the history books is sure to spark heated debates—both in the public sphere and among political scientists and historians. What is already clear, however, is that Biden deserves #respect, recognition, and gratitude for his decision not to run for president again. This decision was visibly difficult for him, but ultimately it reflects a #realism that perhaps comes just in time: The #USA faces an election of #unparalleled #significance in recent #American #history. It is essential to protect American #democracy, to renew and strengthen its institutions, especially in light of the geopolitical challenges of the 21st century. #Democracy means participation, but also taking #responsibility – each and every citizen. Our Western liberal democracies are by no means perfect, but they allow us to live in #freedom, #self-determination, and #prosperity. For this, we should fight!
