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’s 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 this moment of democratic uncertainty - with a few friends.

Group Chat features thought-provoking conversations with:
