What Canadians Said in 2025: A Yearbook of Public Opinion and Perspective

Did you hear what they said!? Sometimes someone says something so astonishing, so dumb or brilliant, so insightful or infuriating that everyone takes notice. But other times, a poignant or perceptive comment can get lost in the general noise of our society. It can be hard to know who and what to focus on or to get a sense of what is important to Canadians. Enter What Canadians Said in 2025: A Yearbook of Public Opinion and Perspective, a fascinating compendium of what those in the public eye said about our country and what they felt other Canadians needed to hear. Garnered from newspapers, interviews, speeches, podcasts, social media, broadcasts, public forums, and online commentary, the quotes featured in this yearbook capture a wide-ranging set of opinions from people with a variety of backgrounds, roles, and ideologies. Organized in eighteen thematic sections-including politics, economy, labour, sports, international affairs, culture, religion, education, and the environment-this thought-provoking and engaging book offers you a chance to do what you probably didn't have time to do while life was happening around you: catch up on the ideas, arguments, and voices of Canadians in a pivotal year and add your own thoughts to the mix.
