[Advisors] Telecommunities Canada -- are we letting it go?

[Garth Graham]

I'd be interested in learning more about that US shift, James.  Since the purpose of leadership is the protection of convention and thus the survival of the institutional basis of its power, I suspect that "unconventional leadership" is an oxymoron.  Castels and others have made recent reference to a culture of autonomy, a shift in the role of the individual.  "Civil society" hates this because autonomous individuals threaten the conventional "balance" among business, governments and civil society without which civil society doesn't exist. I suspect that US leadership reflects that very threatening increased individual autonomy in some way.  I know of no such intellectual reframing in Canada.
