On Monday, May 5th, Coach Che reflected on the political, cultural, and spiritual crossroads Canada faces following the election of its 24th Prime Minister, Mark Carney. As he meets with U.S. President Donald Trump, Che asks: Who are we now, and what are we becoming?

Che explores Canada's growing polarization, algorithm-fueled rage, and how American-style culture wars are bleeding into our national identity. She confronts hard truths: the ongoing impact of the pandemic, rising loneliness and anxiety, the erosion of trust, and the performative nature of DEI efforts.

But this isn’t just a critique, it’s a call. A call for pluralism, collaboration, innovation, and healing. Che reminds us that diversity is complexity and complexity builds innovation. We must expand the table, bridge divides, and reimagine a Canada rooted not in fear, but in shared possibility.

Key Takeaways:

• Canada is in a “collective nervous breakdown” post-pandemic.
• Social media and politics are manufacturing divisions, especially along racial and ideological lines.
• True inclusion means expanding opportunity, not just checking boxes.
• We need new models for innovation rooted in disagreement, difference, and shared purpose.
• The future of Canada must be built by “makers, builders, and dreamers” from the center and the margins.

“We’re not just living in a new world. We are the new world. Let’s not accept division as our direction
