Episode 4037: Live-Reacting The Walrus Debate, Part 2
About this episode
Stephen Carter and Zain Velji continue their live reaction to The Walrus debate, discussing the relevance of candidate debates and the nature of political engagement.
Stephen Carter and Zain Velji continue their live reaction to Carter’s appearance at The Walrus debate at the Canadian Vote Summit. As the conversation turns from democratic engagement to political reality, they unpack whether candidate debates still matter, why Question Period might be little more than political theatre, and what politicians actually learn from the process. Are democratic reforms solving real problems or chasing idealized outcomes? Is civility a moral virtue or a strategic choice? And can Stephen Carter make it through an entire democracy summit without calling someone the worst politician in Canadian history? Zain Velji, as always, picks the questions and keeps everybody in line.
