Thanks to all those who attended Democratic Innovation in Montreal last week!
Last week The Samara Centre for Democracy organized an event in Montreal about how democratic innovations can bridge the gap between citizens and ‘political elites.' Thanks to our panelists Malorie Flon, Sarah Yaffe & Bianca Wylie for putting your sharp minds to the topic for a great crowd. And thank you to our friends at the Institute for Research on Public Policy (IRPP) - Jennifer Ditchburn, Cléa Desjardins & Blair Elliott for hosting us with such warmth. The conversation was recorded for a new project - details to come in early 2025.
