I had a great conversation with Dr. Irvin Studin about an important topic, the six national crises facing Canada post-pandemic. I wanted to have Irvin on again (he was the second guest on my show) because he wrote a very timely and important book titled, “Canada Must Think For Itself: 10 Theses For Our Countries Survival and Success in the 21st century”, and I was interested in doing a deep dive into the 6 national crises facing Canada. Irvin and I are going to do a series of three episodes and tackle two of the crises at a time.
On this episode we look at Canada’s crisis of institutions, and the crisis of public education
