Why a “Just Society” must also be a “Big Society”
Honouring the core insights in both "Social Justice" and the "Big Society" requires affirming simultaneously the norms of social equality and differentiated responsibility. We must get beyond thinking of these goals as if they were in a zero-sum game—or as if we could even conceive of voting for one but not the other—and begin to conceive of them as part of the single fabric of human social nature.

Stronger Together: A Four Sector Approach to Renewing Canadian Social Architecture
This Canadian election did not make any fundamental shifts in the understanding of the ways and means of the government. There are still two basic tools in the political toolbox: private-for-profit tax cutting and redistributive public powers.
