Honoured to be part of the DemocracyXChange conference tomorrow, hosted, in part, at OCAD University and Toronto Metropolitan University. Join us for a timely conversation on 'Agreeing to Disagree in Democracy' with fellow panelists as we analyze how to navigate today's growing polarization.

Thanks to the DemocracyXChange OCAD University the Dais and OpenDemocracy.ca | Démocratieouverte.ca for organising an amazing week of events that bring together people with a passion for public policy, politics and change-making!

Community leadership, problem solving, impact, empathy and trust is discussed at the Emerging Leaders workshop at #dxc24 .

Yesterday my day was all about productivity and policy. Today is all about democracy. I will be thinking about both from the perspective of what could/should change in education to ensure Canada’s productive and democratic future. #DXC24 ⁦OCAD University⁩ ⁦⁦the Dais⁩
