In this first episode of season 2, we interview Dominic Cardy, the leader of the Canadian Futures Party, a former member of the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick (2018-2024), and a provincial cabinet minister (2018-2022). Sacha and I asked Dominic to explore how politicians can support communities in their efforts to connect and grow civic muscle in responding to a wide range of sociopolitical and economic challenges affecting their day-to-day lives and the future of our planet. In this interview, Dominic shares a wealth of experience and deep care for communities alongside a sharp analysis of political systems and how they must improve to better serve citizens and their communities.
