Upcoming Event:

Fighting for Fair Politics: What Comes Next?

Duff Conacher from Democracy Watch, May 22nd, 6pm

Location: 326 Nideyinàn, 6pm (note, an alternate location is actively being sought out for accessibility purposes)

Join Carleton PIRG for an engaging conversation with Duff Conacher, Co-founder of Democracy Watch.
In the wake of recent elections, Duff will provide a timely assessment of the opportunities and challenges facing efforts to strengthen democracy in Canada. From the growing influence of major donors and corporate lobbying to the need for greater transparency and accountability, Duff will explore the current landscape and outline strategies for advancing democratic reforms. He’ll also discuss how citizens, advocacy groups, and progressive politicians—at all levels of government, including here in Ottawa—can work together to push for the changes needed to build a more fair and accountable political system.
