The 2024 Cardus Exchange will be held from April 10-12, co-sponsored by The Hub. The third annual Cardus Exchange will be held parallel to the Canada Strong and Free Networking Conference.This year, Cardus Exchange will explore the theme of home. What is “home”?Is it our address, our city, our province, or our country? Some argue that Canada is a “post-national” country, others say “Canada is broken.” These views about nationhood and institutions shape our culture and our policy-making.What do we mean when we invoke home in conversation and in policy debates? What are its component parts and how do they relate to each other? Is home limited to a physical place or does it extend to the family, the school, the church, and the workplace? What makes a good home?This year we will be joined by leading Canadian thinkers to explore the differing and contested visions of home in Canadian public life. Our panels will cover topics including:- the principles that can guide us through complex policy questions - navigating fundamental differences at home - political philosophy and Canadian visions of homeThe third annual Cardus Exchange promises to be a forum for thoughtful debate and intimate conversations that you won’t find anywhere else. As we think about Canada’s future, Cardus Exchange guarantees opportunities to dig deep into the themes informing our cultural and policy discourse.
