Housing costs. Jobs. AI. Healthcare. Politics affects all of it, whether you're paying attention or not. The Next Vote is here to explain why it matters to you. Hosted by Nolan Sanders, a young Canadian with a passion for politics, the show brings a fresh perspective to Canadian and global politics for people who feel left out of the conversation, or just tuned out of it. This podcast will cover elections, public policy and legislation, current events, foreign affairs, the economy, AI, national security, and political philosophy. What The Next Vote isn't: personal attacks, conspiracy theories, or politics treated like a sports rivalry. What it is: fact-based, open to challenge, and respectful, even when we disagree. Country over party, always. Whatever your politics, whether you lean left, right, or nowhere at all, The Next Vote is a place to think critically, ask questions, and figure out how to get involved. Your voice matters. Your vote matters. Let's get into it. New episodes added every Friday

    Your Power

    You registered, you showed up, you marked your ballot, and then your candidate lost anyway. So what did your vote actually do? Nolan Sanders gets honest about why one vote almost never decides an election, and why that doesn’t mean democracy is broken. He breaks down what democracy promises (and what it never did), how Canada’s first past the post system works, and why strategic voting leaves so many people feeling like their ballot is wasted. He also gets into the difference between individual and collective power, and why believing your vote doesn’t matter can weaken democracy itself. Stick around for this episode’s Next Thought, “Use Your Piece”: pick one issue you care about and do one thing about it this week.

    The History of Democracy

    What are we trying to protect? What if democracy didn’t fall in a dramatic coup, but faded because we stopped paying attention? In this episode, Nolan Sanders traces democracy’s long and fragile history, from ancient Athens and the Magna Carta to the Enlightenment, the revolutions, and the dark lessons of the 20th century. He then connects it to today: polarization, outrage-driven social media, and falling trust in institutions. Along the way, he makes the case that democracy needs disagreement, and that young people have a real stake in what happens next. Stick around for the first Next Thought, a challenge to talk with (or research) someone you disagree with and actually listen.
