More than anything else, a successful democracy depends on an informed and engaged population: if people don’t know what’s going on, or they’re not showing up to vote, things spiral into chaos. Kendall Anderson, managing director at the Samara Centre for Democracy, joins us for a bonus episode to talk about the condition of Canada’s democracy, what measures we can take to ensure young people are informed and engaged, and whether we’re seeing any symptoms of the kind of populism that led to Trump in the United States or Brexit in the United Kingdom (ironically, neither are particularly united at the moment). With election day drawing ever closer, we thought it was important to discuss the state of our union, and what we need to do to keep our democracy healthy and sustainable. https://www.samaracanada.com/ www.upfordnetwork.com
