Brian Crombie Radio Hour - Epi 1317 - Next Gen Public Affairs with Murray Simser

Brian interviews Murray Simser. Murray is the founder and CEO of CITIZN, Democracy's Social Network. A serial entrepreneur trained in Silicon Valley and a Microsoft alumnus, Murray’s first passion was politics—his dream was to work in Parliament. But Silicon Valley called, and instead of becoming Prime Minister, he built a career as an entrepreneur. His two worlds collided again as democracy began to falter, leading him to create CITIZN—a "Societal Network" dedicated to strengthening democratic engagement. Murray Simser discusses Next Gen Public Affairs, a recent conference exploring how polling, AI, Trump, tariffs, and polarization are reshaping public affairs in Canada and around the world.
