Localities have long been conceived of as the 'Ideal Scale of Democracy' because they are small enough that we can actively negotiate our ways of living together, and big enough to address significant issues. The issues covered in this course may include education, animal control, transportation, water, development, policing, and corruption in Canadian localities.
