Fascinating proposal, and book of interest to democratic revolutionaries!
I have a new book, Legislature by Lot, which I co-authored with the late Erik Olin Wright, a renowned sociologist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. We make a strong case for selecting half a bicameral legislature through a civic lottery. #sortition amazon.com/Legislature-Lo…
What are some core civic duties we have in Canada? That we need to either revisit or redefine?

An interesting campaign to have law enforcement appointments that demonstrate more impartiality and independence in Canada. ow.ly/RNhB50pxJek

This is such an important question right now.
How might members of parliament have more freedom to represent their constituents from outside of the cabinet, asks @PeggyNashNDP. @spaikin & @MaxwellACameron note that in the UK it is common for "backbenchers" to have a more active role. #RyersonDemocracy #cdnpoli
Yes, so often overlooked, and so important.

Is this the epitome of our democratic discourse? No. We can do better. Time to build actual conversations and dialogue on a community level, and get to know one another as people. ow.ly/8RRH30nNcb0
Community leadership in action. What institutions support this type of community involvement?

'Social cohesion' and constructive dialogue = fuel for a healthy democracy. Great work from a non-profit in New Brunswick cbc.ca/news/canada/ne…
Very well timed. Very much looking forward to this. #bcpoli
Our Community Summits have taken on the future of work, Canadian foreign policy, isolation, reconciliation, and now? Disinformation. That's right. We're thrilled to announce that from April 10 - 18 we'll be Confronting the Disinformation Age. Join us? sfu.ca/publicsquare/2…
Deconstructing the idea of a 'nation'. Can we do democracy without this construct? "People were taught to stop thinking of themselves as coming from a particular town, but to consider themselves subjects of these nations...But this was all myth." ow.ly/Zd1O30mWSRA
