Opinion: Canada should follow Britain and lower the voting age to 16 Giving 16- and 17-year-olds in Scotland the right to vote appears to have disrupted the typical decline in participation during early adulthood

Yes Scott Stirrett! In 🇨🇦 16=taxes, keys to machines that kill, criminal responsibility, consent. Let’s solve for #DemocraticResilience earlier. La recherche montre qu’étendre le #vote à 16ans assure la participation informée + donc notre sécurité #Vote16Canada www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

Communiqué AFP Gaza

Communiqué de la SDJ de l'AFP à propos de ses journalistes à Gaza :
"Depuis que l’AFP a été fondée, nous avons perdu des journalistes dans des conflits, [...], mais aucun de nous n’a le souvenir d’avoir vu un collaborateur mourir de faim.
Nous refusons de les voir mourir."

Great leadership from the UK. We need to solve for democratic resilience earlier in the cycle, and research shows this is a winning path. C’est le moment pour le Canada de se joindre à cette évolution qui renforcera notre sécurité et notre bien-être! On y va #Vote16Canada 🇨🇦

For forty years or more we've lived with the "more market, less government" nostrum.
Now that ethos is running on stilts, at exactly a time when demographics, climate change, AI, corporate concentration and rising geopolitical tensions are demanding more government, less market.

Opinion: Anti-democratic ‘Dark Enlightenment’ ideas have spread from Silicon Valley to Washington This esoteric and obscure ideology has increasing influence on U.S. politics

Opinion: Canada still faces a massive brain-drain problem Despite Donald Trump, our entrepreneurs are likely to continue losing talent to America

Good diagnosis by #RichardFlorida: focus on retention/repatriation of *Canadian expats (researchers or entrepreneurs) is key. Like PM Carney those with US work experience share commitments, values, ties + understand what’s different and worth fighting for in 🇨🇦 www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

Canada needs a co-ordinated democracy strategy This week’s Summit for Democracy presents an opportunity for Canada to unite our approaches to democracy at this anxious time of democratic recession.

A new Cabinet for 🇨🇦 as the #CopenhagenDemocracySummit launches: une opportunité!

2) Beware of certain complaints about our single-member plurality system. It's *perfectly valid* to prefer PR, but there's no such thing as "wasted votes" and remember, it's 343 separate elections, not one giant prime ministerial one: if your party can't win many seats they needed deeper support.

Heartbroken by this news. Deep sympathies and solidarity with our friends and neighbours of Filipino descent, and gratitude for all the ways the community has brought #bayanihan to 🇨🇦. Salamat po @jgombita for these teachings, and my condolences 🙏

Chaque année, les Arméniens demandent au monde de tirer les leçons d’ #Avril24. Je me joins à eux encore aujourd'hui.

Democracies cannot thrive without truth. Without accountability, authoritarianism prospers, and #democracy withers. #LestWeForget …. Fin. 5/5

And to my horror, the past became present on #19Sept23, when #NeverAgain became #OnceAgain, as *all the Armenians of Artsakh were purged from their historic homelands, where they'd forged a thriving democracy. The perpetrator was rewarded with #COP29. Political leaders wither in AZ jails…4/x

Si je me soucie de la #démocratie et de sa sine qua non, la vérité, c'est aussi à cause de cette histoire. Le #24avril1915, les intellectuels et leaders arméniens ont été assassinés par les "Jeunes Turcs" déclencheant une intention de destruction et ‘purification’ dont l’impunité demeure … 3/x
