In this third season of The West Block, we are launching a new segment called The Big Idea.
We start with one central question: where should Canada be going?
The answers, we hope, will be as diverse as the people presenting them—entrepreneurs, storytellers, scientists, musicians, motivators and innovators.
We start with one of Canada’s most celebrated and respected jurists, Louise Arbour.

“I had, like many, a rather romantic and inaccurate perception of how we were being seen by the rest of the world,” Arbour told The West Block host Tom Clark.
“You know, the idea that you just had to sew a Canadian flag on your backpack and the whole world would welcome you is very passé, I think. We’ve seen now very differently, if at all,” she said.
“Actually, we’re not seen at all.”
All of us have a stake in our future, and so, a reason to share their voices.
The goal is to engage in a broader discussion about our potential as a nation – and a people.
