Join us for an exclusive 60-minute webinar moderated by Aaron Wudrick, Director of Domestic Policy Program at Macdonald-Laurier Institute and featuring Dave Snow, Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of Guelph, and Leonid Sirota, Associate Professor of Law at the University of Reading.
