2067: A Journal of Canadian Consciousness is an independent journal of essays dedicated to the renewal of Canadian intellectual and cultural life. Named for the bicentenary of Confederation, the journal is oriented toward the country Canada could become and the difficult but rewarding paths needed to get there.
We publish eclectically, on politics, philosophy, art, history, public policy, music, education, folklore, urbanism, nature writing, culture, sport, myth, and imagination. We are, in every sense, a journal of Canadiana.
Our animating conviction is that generational outlook is far more meaningful and consequential than party allegiance or position on the left-right spectrum. 2067 is not a journal of conservative or liberal thought, and we explicitly eschew such labels. We will publish authors who disagree with one another on policies and philosophies, and we seek to stimulate new debates, new dissents, and new cleavages that better reflect the tensions and complexities of this Canada rather than the one of 1967, 1988, or 2000. Where conventional ideological categories distort more than they clarify, we intend not merely to diminish them but to render them irrelevant.
We want to, in our own small way, provide a hospitable platform for the Canadian mind and spirit to dwell.
