2023.01.10 An interview with Dave Meslin, Author+++, Teardown: Rebuilding Democracy from the Ground Up

Dear Listeners,

Thanks so much for tuning into Civically Speaking and supporting shows like this and community radio airing around the world.

It's a real treat for co-host, Christina Cherneskey, and me to chat with David Meslin and learn about his work, background, and hopes - specifically around democracy and ways our Canadian society can do things - from the simple to the provocative to improve our democratic systems of governance. Here's a couple of examples to give you a sense of our conversation:

• what about random seating taking place in the House of Commons instead of having parties sit in opposition to one another?;

                     or, 

• how about really looking to our local Tim Horton's as a model for how to evolve the ways we can vote come the time of elections?

Have a listen and consider getting involved in some of the efforts Dave shares, beginning with the following:

• https://www.unlockdemocracy.ca/ 
• https://vote16.ca/
• https://www.teardown.build/

Thanks Dave for joining Civically Speaking. Listeners, please enjoy this episode and share it with others.
