The future of culture and democracy in Canada takes focus in this week’s edition of #CdnCult Times.

Sarah Garton Stanley reacts to the #CdnCult Twittersphere’s response to @CBCOntarioToday and the Rob Ford Pride Flag Flap; Rahul Varma investigates the cultural principals that underpin our democratic ideals; I make a proposal for Senate reform that puts culture at the vanguard of revitalizing our democratic institutions.

Each article suggests proactive innovation to preserve democratic values through inclusivity and equality. Beyond the act of casting a ballot, in what imaginative ways can we improve our democracy?”
