Exploring the national identity in the face of external threats.
In this episode Dr. Emmett Macfarlane, a professor of political science at the University of Waterloo, expands on his Substack article in which he makes the case that American democracy is not only in decline, but already dead.
“It is meaningless to speak of threats to American democracy, to decline in democracy. The cat is not just out of the bag, it is gone.”
Then, Crawford Kilian makes the case for restoring conscription in Canada, as he recently wrote about for The Tyee.
