Dalton McGuinty on Leadership: Can civil society be civil when politics is polarized?

Dalton McGuinty won three elections as Premier of Ontario, building out the province’s education system from early childhood care to colleges and universities. How do we navigate today’s polarization and disaffection? Bring your questions about the future of politics as the former premier talks about his latest book, “Be a Good One – Words to Lead By.”

The event will be moderated by Toronto Star columnist and Dais Senior Fellow Martin Regg Cohn.
