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: https://t.co/DAjQxbiLaG

In these challenging times for democracy it is inspiring to hear a story of politics of inclusion. That works. Thank you @nenshi

[Democratic Engagement Exchange @TheExchange_TMU]

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

@davidfrum David, I can't tell you how many people from all walks off life have told me that they were brought to tears by your piece in the Atlantic. Thank you for sharing your grief so powerfully and reminding us of our shared humanity. Our heart goes out to you and your family.

[John Beebe @jsbeebe]

Looking forward to this important conversation. See you there tonight!

After waiting 1.5 hours at counter this is the line for cars in garage @loganairports @thriftycars 😱 travel hell. Lots of families having a much worse time. No communication at all!

The key to engaging young people from marginalised communities?
“Listening with intent to something.” Wise words from @ikemopara at #cdnvotesummit @RideauHallFdn

[John Beebe @jsbeebe]

Engaging democracy. Even if you can’t vote. @CAWI_IVTF Lais Maurillio her own experience empowering women to make change in Ontario. #cdnvotesummit @TheExchange_TMU

[John Beebe @jsbeebe]

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

@TuftsIDHE NSLVE data has transformed how Universities engage students during elections in the us.
A clear call for data on student engagement because it transforms behaviour. Great panel at #cdnvotesummit with @SLSVCoalition @PamSugiman @CASAACAE @arts_tmu @TheSamaraCentre

“Representation is the floor not the ceiling.” Velma Morgan @blackvotecanada
Day 2 is off to a strong start with a disruptive conversation about representation in politics. @arts_tmu

[John Beebe @jsbeebe]

“What do we need to know in common to be a we?”
As we wrap day 1 #cdnvotesummit the always engaging @elamin88 asks what does it mean to engage with the story of democracy? @arts_tmu

[Farah Nasser @FarahNasser]

In an era where trust and truth are being tested, I'm honoured to be hosting, moderating 2 day #Cdnvotesummit @TheExchange_TMU

And we’re off! @jsbeebe is opening our exciting and important #CdnVoteSummit which brings together public service, academia and civil society to address the challenges facing democracy. “We are doing something unprecedented because Canadian democracy is unprecedented.”

[John Beebe @jsbeebe]

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.

[John Beebe @jsbeebe]

[John Beebe @jsbeebe]

Huge congratulations!! Such impressive work!

[John West @JohnWest]

This project took the better part of a year, but I couldn't have been on a better team. @ChadSDay, @rebeccaballhaus, Brody Mullins, @joe_palazzolo, @JamesVGrimaldi, @coulterjones, @michaelsiconolf and so many more: y'all are the best.

[Sanjay Ruparelia @SVRuparelia]

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?
