What do Gen Z want?

The youth have reminded the nation that constitutions alone do not safeguard democracy—citizens do.

During the recent Gen Z movement, major state institutions—including the President’s Office, Parliament and Supreme Court—were attacked, along with several government offices and the homes of political leaders. In the aftermath, many well-wishers reached out to me with concern, wondering if my own house had been targeted. Their anxiety was understandable; as one of the advocates of federalism, they feared the anger might also be directed against the federal system and the provinces themselves.
