SUMMARY - Balancing Expert Advice and Public Opinion

Democratic governance faces a persistent tension: should policy be guided by expert knowledge or by the preferences of the public? The question has grown more urgent as issues become more technically complex, distrust of institutions rises, and populist movements challenge elite authority. How Canada navigates this tension shapes outcomes on everything from public health to climate policy to economic management.
