Is Canada attacking itself? How powerful are universities in changing the trajectory of Canadian culture?

Join me on Episode 47 as I speak with lawyer, award-winning author, and former President of the University of Saskatchewan Dr. Peter MacKinnon, who offers his over 50 years of experience in university education and public policy as we discuss some of the troubles that Canada is facing as a nation.

We talk about the idea of “ritualistic denunciation” in university classrooms, how to have immigration that is both compassionate and open towards newcomers and considerate of national security, whether or not having “open borders” could actually work, provincial equalization payments, and Justin Trudeau’s famous statement that Canadian “diversity is our strength.”
