History is replete with evidence that innovation can improve our lives in some circumstances and devastate them in others. The irony of our times is that as our economies become more and more service driven, we are producing, transporting, and consuming more resource- and energy-intensive material goods than ever before in ever more innovative ways. And herein lies the motivation for policy. Innovation can increase welfare, but only within socio-political environments that can respond creatively to its dual nature. Innovating is usually very hard to do, but sustaining human welfare through innovation is always even harder. Thus, for policy makers, the point is not just to increase the incidence of innovation but also to use it to leverage positive social outcomes. I propose that deploying innovation as a strategy for mitigating threats to the environment will demand that we get to grips with it from this perspective. Democracy is a public conversation about innovation, and in the Canadian case, achieving sustainability goals will be impossible unless public institutions are rehabilitated as agents of innovation.
