Our 100 Predictions for 2025

Maclean’s Year Ahead issue is our bestselling print edition by far. Readers like it because of its unique scope and ambition. Once every year, the editors of Maclean’s boldly predict the big events, news and trends on the horizon. You can buy it here. 

We don’t consult a crystal ball. Instead, we interpret signals from what’s happening right now. After multiple years of fires and floods, it’s safe to anticipate more extreme weather. In this period of political polarization, Canadians can expect a fierce ideological battle over the future of the country. As AI becomes increasingly powerful, I’m willing to bet that machine learning will transform the economy. But what will all that look like specifically? At Maclean’s, we spell out the particulars in The Year Ahead, featuring 10 predictions in 10 sweeping categories. 

You can dip into this must-read issue, or buy an annual subscription for just $39.99. Start your 2025 off with insights, features and commentary that provide a window into the future.
