Govern Yourself Accordingly is a brand new podcast for engaged citizens and public leaders who want to lead change through politics with their integrity intact. If you are someone who is engaged in politics - as an activist, an elected leader, aspiring candidate or simply someone who wants to engage deeply with questions about public leadership this is the podcast for you. We're always on the hunt for people, stories, big ideas and small ones that capture our curiosity about how we can govern ourselves, and our communities better. Each week, we'll share what we learn with you through this podcast. Host: Mark Coffin.

  • #6: Finite and Infinite Games with James Carse

    #6: Finite and Infinite Games with James Carse
    Feb 28 2018

    Thirty-five years ago, James Carse wrote a book called 'Finite and Infinite Games: A Vision of Life as Play and Possibility’. Over three decades later, it remains popular. In this podcast we explore what the ideas expressed in the book could mean when applied in a political space.


    A finite game is played to be won and an infinite game is played for the purpose of continuing play. In this episode, Mark calls James Carse to explore questions about how the ideas in his book apply to politics and public life.

  • #5: The Push for Evidence-Based Decision-Making in Canadian Politics (and why it still needs a push): Interview with Dr. Katie Gibbs

    #5: The Push for Evidence-Based Decision-Making in Canadian Politics (and why it still needs a push): Interview with Dr. Katie Gibbs
    Jan 9 2018

    Dr. Katie Gibbs is a scientist and one of the founders of the national non-profit Evidence for Democracy a group dedicated to “the transparent use of evidence in government decision-making in Canada.”


    Evidence for Democracy - or E4D as they call themselves - is a movement that began in 2012 while Stephen Harper was still Canada’s Prime Minister, and leading a government that was well known for ignoring evidence, muzzling government scientists and burying their research.


    On today’s episode, Katie joins us to talk about:

    • The strategies her group used to get evidence on the agenda during the last government
    • How they’ve had to change their approach since Justin Trudeau took office, and
    • whether evidence and democracy are even compatible
