Democracy Dialogues: The Drive to Polarization and the Youth Response

Democracy Dialogues are back and will look at the response of young Canadians to the forces driving partisan polarization in Canada. This first episode is offered in partnership with Public Policy Forum (PPF), YMCA Canada, and Elections Canada and will include youth voices.

In this session, the panelists will discuss the Public Policy Forum’s new report called Far and Widening: The Rise of Polarization in Canada. They will share project learnings about forces like a changing media landscape, the pandemic, and party politics that are driving polarization. They will also look at what the data and deep conversations with young people tell us about how we are responding to these forces. It should be an interesting discussion!

The event will take place Tuesday, October 3rd 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM EDT.
