David Redman: How Helicopter Parenting Fueled Canada’s Slide Toward Authoritarianism

In this Dialogue Over Division clip, David Redman explores the shift in Canadian society from the self-reliant, confident spirit of 1967 to today’s risk-averse culture. Redman discusses how decades of helicopter and bulldozer parenting have led to a generation unprepared for challenges, fostering a reliance on government to manage all risks. He connects this trend to the rise of authoritarian tendencies and a lack of accountability in leadership, as outlined in his Canada 2024 paper from the Frontier Centre for Public Policy. Join the conversation on how Canada can rediscover personal responsibility and resilience.
