WATCH: Culture Change With Shawn Whatley
In this episode of 'Concepts' with host Shawn Whatley, Shawn, an author, MLI Senior Fellow, and former President of the OMA and Civitas is joined by Alexander Brown, a prolific writer, journalist, Director of the National Citizens Coalition, and a show host on Juno News.
Alexander also serves as managing editor, and co-founder of Without Diminishment, a leading new conservative publication founded to better serve culture writing in Canada.
The conversation delves deep into the frustrations of young voters in Canada, particularly focusing on cultural and economic challenges. They discuss the Conservative Party's past hesitancy to engage in those cultural debates and the significance of leveraging third-party advocacy groups like the NCC, Project Ontario, and platforms like Without Diminishment that aim to bridge the gap between "policy wonks" and everyday Canadians.
Highlighting the growing discontent among working Canadians over issues like home ownership and social cohesion, Alexander and Shawn explore the potential for a rejuvenated conservative movement that does not shy away from third-rails in polite Canadian discourse.
