Group Chat: Making Sense of Canada’s Democracy With a Few Friends
Canada’s democracy is under threat, and the stakes are high. But when we focus on how we are connected, we find the power to act - to strengthen what’s working and fix what’s not. This is what is behind the Samara Centre for Democracy’s latest podcast, hosted by Sabreena Delhon. It’s called Group Chat and it’s where we bring people together to make sense of what’s happening in our democracy. Group Chat is a five-part series. We have new episodes out every Thursday. Group Chat is funded by the Rideau Hall Foundation and the Flanagan Foundation. If you like this podcast, help us keep it going.
