Big ideas. Clear thinking. Better Canada.

MakeUsGreat.ca is a Substack for people who believe Canada can — and must — do better.

We publish sharp, evidence-based writing on the big questions: How should we invest our public wealth? What kind of schools, healthcare, housing, and energy systems do we want? What role should Canada play in the world — and whose interests does our foreign policy really serve?

We look forward and back. That means learning from our past — not to glorify or romanticize it, but to understand what worked, what failed, and why.

Our goal is to make policy talk accessible, honest, and grounded in people’s real lives. We break down complexity, challenge orthodoxy, and surface ideas with the power to change things.

Because great countries don’t just happen. We make them.
