How do leaders earn and keep the public’s trust in an era of polarization, misinformation, and political fatigue?
In this episode, we share with you the recording of an Acadia University event where Futureproofing Canada host Jennifer Ditchburn moderated a frank discussion on leadership, democracy, and trust with former Nova Scotia premier Daryl Dexter, journalist Steve Murphy, former cabinet minister Kelly Regan, and former Clerk of the Privy Council Michael Wernick.
The panel explored what transparency, empathy, and accountability look like in practice, from governing through crises to rebuilding confidence in institutions and the media.

PO Podcast 168 - Affordability and Climate: Addressing Intertwined Challenges in Politics Today
As a new U.S. administration keeps threatening to impose tariffs on Canadian exports, the IRPP hosted a panel discussion on how to address the intersecting affordability and climate crises.
Hosted in partnership with the Affordability Action Council, the panel featured Tyler Meredith, a former economic policy adviser to the Liberal government, Kathleen Monk, former director of communications to NDP leader Jack Layton, Karen Restoule, vice-president of Toronto-based Crestview Strategy and senior fellow at Macdonald-Laurier Institute and was moderated by Jennifer Ditchburn.
The panel focused on how to protect households from the rising cost of living, how to minimize the impacts of extreme weather events and how to keep affordable food on the table. This podcast is the audio from that discussion.
