Royal Society of Canada. 2021 Cover Art Christine De Vuono, For Your Own Good, (2020) Over the course of the pandemic, those in long term care facilities have been hit hardest with the impact of COVID-19 outbreaks. The response has been to lock down care homes and ban visitors, volunteers and even care packages, as attempts to stop the virus from entering the facility. This had the unintended, but very real consequence of isolating our most vulnerable from those who care for and love them. “For Your Own Good”, made of 100 carved figures from identical bars of soap, then placed in mason jars, which in turn are placed on shelves, allow us to look in on the miniature elderly figures, who look out at us.

Clarke The risk of interstate conflict, including among great powers, is higher than at any time since the end of the Cold War. – Daniel R. Coats, Director of National Intelligence Introduction The Government has no higher obligation than the safety and security of Canadian people. Our new strategic vision for defence reaffirms this overarching priority of the Canadian Armed Forces: defending Canada and protecting Canadians. – Strong, Secure, Engaged: Canada’s Defence Policy (p. 60) OVID-19 has changed the world. Forever. In fact, a recent article on The Economist website very succinctly framed the long-term financial challenge: “…governments are writing millions of cheques to households and firms in order to Chelp them survive lockdowns. At the same time, with factories, shops and offices shut, tax revenues are collapsing. Long after the covid-19 wards have emptied, countries will be living with the consequences.”1 That article concludes by portending that for future governments “Making budgets add up looks as if it will be a defining challenge of the post-covid world – one that today’s politicians have not yet even started to confront.”2 Defence of Canada/National Government The post-COVID reality will likely be the defining challenge for Canada’s next government and, pending the duration and impact of the pandemic, governments beyond.
