Join "On The Frontlines of Democracy" for a live podcast recording with The Honourable Bob Rae and host Sanjay Ruparelia, Jarislowsky Democracy Chair at TMU.
Democratic regimes and multilateral institutions have confronted many tests since the postwar international order was established in 1945. But are today’s challenges more serious than those we have faced before? And what does that mean for Canada?
As we look ahead, it is worth asking which norms, institutions, and practices are still serving us well and should be protected, and what might need to evolve or change to meet this moment.
