Cross Country Checkup·Listen

Do you feel well represented by Canadian democracy?

Checkup wants to know: Do you feel well represented by Canadian democracy, and what’s a skill or hobby you picked up later in life?

Plus, what skill or hobby did you pick up later in life, and how did it change your perspective?

This week on Cross Country Checkup... 

The election results are in. In his new book, The Crisis of Canadian Democracy, journalist Andrew Coyne dissects all the institutions that make up our democracy — from our voting system, to leadership campaigns, to party politics and the power of the Prime Minister's Office. He'll be weighing in on calls and taking questions throughout the hour.

And in our second hour: What new skill or hobby did you pick up later in life? How did it change your perspective?
