With the U.S. election just hours away, there couldn’t be a more critical moment to kick off Season 6 of Democracy Dialogues! Join us on November 7 for a truly timely conversation on election interference and its profound impact on trust and participation: engagedemocracy.ca/season-6
In these challenging times for democracy it is inspiring to hear a story of politics of inclusion. That works. Thank you @nenshi
What an inspiring keynote at the Canadian Vote Summit 2024 from trailblazing @nenshi! As the first Muslim mayor of a major North American city and former Mayor of Calgary, Nenshi shared his remarkable journey of breaking barriers. Moderated by @jsbeebe, founder @TheExchange_TMU
Looking forward to this important conversation. See you there tonight!

Important conversation between @PippaN15 and @SVRuparelia on the role of trust in democracy.
Bottom line-

I bought two of my favorite beings to vote today. Who are you bringing to vote? Advance polls close at 7PM today! #TOpoli @TheExchange_TMU
Bonus I got to talk with CBC's @Ali_Chiasson about all the great work voter engagement by groups like @42_voices @planningtoronto @on4all @DailyBreadTO @nyhfb and our work at @TheExchange_TMU encouraging everyone to get out and vote.
Huge congratulations!! Such impressive work!

Far-right parties have made historic gains in Scandinavia.
Can the idea of social democracy be revived in its heartland in alliance with the global South?

ALT On the Frontlines of Democracy is a public lecture series to analyze the prospects of democracy in the twenty-first century. Around the world, democracy faces serious challenges, old and new. Can we protect individual rights and the rule of law in an era of popular mistrust, severe partisanship and resurgent nationalism? How can our democracies reduce inequalities of power, wealth and status, defend deep diversity and confront climate change in the new digital age? Can we develop innovative strategies to revitalize civic engagement, empower public institutions and resist autocratic threats? How can we support the expansion of democracy, in an evolving post-western order, without committing the mistakes of the past?

Looking forward to this very timely conversation with two people at the frontlines of the issue.
Is strong mayor power a cure for council paralysis or a dangerous move towards unaccountable leadership undermining core democratic principles?
