Is Protest the Future of Democracy? | TVO Today Live

Over the past decade or so, and especially since the pandemic, the size and intensity of protests in Canada seem to be increasing. Are people taking to the street because they don't feel heard through traditional political channels? Does it signal a shift in our democracy? Are the right protections and limits in place? Steve Paikin hosts a live event with an expert panel and questions from the audience. Guests include: Patrick Brethour, editorials editor at The Globe and Mail; Jacqueline Kennelly, professor of sociology at Carleton University; Stephen Mensah, executive director of the Toronto Youth Cabinet; Caryma Sa'd, lawyer, journalist, and protest watcher; and Christine Van Geyn, Litigation Director for the Canadian Constitution Foundation.
This live event series is made possible by the generous support of the Wilson Foundation, to examine vital issues facing our shared democratic institutions. Learn more at www.tvo.org/tvo-today-live
