Compassionate Justice Speaker Series : John Ralston Saul

Our 15th year in the series will continue our exploration of issues and concerns pertaining to both our criminal justice system and major social justice issues that are important to Canadians.

This year’s program will feature John Ralston Saul, Author, Historian & Political Philosopher, who will speak on Democracy On The Line.

Democracy has never been a mainstream option anywhere in the world. John Ralston Saul, Canadian writer, political philosopher, and member of the Order Of Canada, will assert that democracy requires enormous effort at every level. Every time technology or economics produce social changes, a democracy is endangered. Today it is collapsing to our south and the autocracy beyond the North Pole is becoming increasingly unpredictable. Canada has always been a special case. How do we handle this?
