In these challenging times for democracy it is inspiring to hear a story of politics of inclusion. That works. Thank you @nenshi
What an inspiring keynote at the Canadian Vote Summit 2024 from trailblazing @nenshi! As the first Muslim mayor of a major North American city and former Mayor of Calgary, Nenshi shared his remarkable journey of breaking barriers. Moderated by @jsbeebe, founder @TheExchange_TMU

After waiting 1.5 hours at counter this is the line for cars in garage @loganairports @thriftycars 😱 travel hell. Lots of families having a much worse time. No communication at all! – at Boston, MA

The key to engaging young people from marginalised communities?
“Listening with intent to something.” Wise words from @ikemopara at #cdnvotesummit @RideauHallFdn
Engaging democracy. Even if you can’t vote. @CAWI_IVTF Lais Maurillio her own experience empowering women to make change in Ontario. #cdnvotesummit @TheExchange_TMU
Important conversation between @PippaN15 and @SVRuparelia on the role of trust in democracy.
Bottom line-
Trust 🤔
Trustworthy 😊

@TuftsIDHE NSLVE data has transformed how Universities engage students during elections in the us.
A clear call for data on student engagement because it transforms behaviour. Great panel at #cdnvotesummit with @SLSVCoalition @PamSugiman @CASAACAE @arts_tmu @TheSamaraCentre
“Representation is the floor not the ceiling.” Velma Morgan @blackvotecanada
Day 2 is off to a strong start with a disruptive conversation about representation in politics. @arts_tmu
“What do we need to know in common to be a we?”
As we wrap day 1 #cdnvotesummit the always engaging @elamin88 asks what does it mean to engage with the story of democracy? @arts_tmu
Let the conversation begin! – at Toronto, Ontario
And we’re off! @jsbeebe is opening our exciting and important #CdnVoteSummit which brings together public service, academia and civil society to address the challenges facing democracy. “We are doing something unprecedented because Canadian democracy is unprecedented.”
I bought two of my favorite beings to vote today. Who are you bringing to vote? Advance polls close at 7PM today! #TOpoli @TheExchange_TMU

Bonus I got to talk with CBC's @Ali_Chiasson about all the great work voter engagement by groups like @42_voices @planningtoronto @on4all @DailyBreadTO @nyhfb and our work at @TheExchange_TMU encouraging everyone to get out and vote.
Huge congratulations!! Such impressive work!
This project took the better part of a year, but I couldn't have been on a better team. @ChadSDay, @rebeccaballhaus, Brody Mullins, @joe_palazzolo, @JamesVGrimaldi, @coulterjones, @michaelsiconolf and so many more: y'all are the best.

@mariaressa the embodiment of courage. Sharing a clear call to action for all of us @dxcsummit to step up and push back against the lies and hate spread that are spread faster on social media. #engagedemocracy #DXC23
Looking forward to this very timely conversation with two people at the frontlines of the issue.
Is strong mayor power a cure for council paralysis or a dangerous move towards unaccountable leadership undermining core democratic principles?
@jsbeebe, Counc. @BravoDavenport + @ZacSpicer hosts a convo @ 12pm, Mar 25. Register for #DXC23 here: democracyxchange.org/tickets
Care about the future of Toronto?
Don't miss this debate.
Leadership matters.
