In this episode, I welcome Dr. John von Heyking, Chair of the Department of Political Science at the University of Lethbridge in Alberta, to discuss the meaning of conservatism in Canadian politics. The conversation delves into the 2013 Alberta floods as an example of community response, the evolving nature of conservative movements over recent decades, differing ideologies within conservatism, and the importance of community and individual rights. We also cover philosophical perspectives from thinkers like David Walsh and Eric Vogelin, the dynamics between individual and collective values, and the current political landscape in Canada.
