Young Canadians face unprecedented challenges: soaring living costs, high taxes, and uncertain economic prospects. In 2023, 1.5 million Canadians left for the United States, seeking better opportunities. Should even more Canadians under 30 follow? Or is there a bright future here?
Join us on September 25, 2025, at The GRAND Theatre in Calgary for a thought-provoking debate featuring world-renowned physicist Lawrence M. Krauss, Ph.D. and acclaimed Free Press journalist Rupa Subramanya. This landmark event will spark critical thinking and civil discourse on Canada’s future.
Lawrence M. Krauss, Ph.D. is a globally celebrated theoretical physicist, bestselling author, and president of The Origins Project Foundation. A New York Times bestselling author, his newest, just-released book is a collection of chapters on science from 39 contributors entitled The War on Science. Raised in Canada and educated at Carleton University, he pursued doctoral studies at MIT and held prestigious appointments at Harvard, Yale, and CERN. A defender of intellectual curiosity, Krauss writes for The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The Globe and Mail, and hosts The Origins Podcast. Dr. Krauss has moved back to Canada and will argue against the motion.
Rupa Subramanya is an Ottawa-based economist and journalist writing for The Free Press. With contributions to The National Post, Wall Street Journal India, and Foreign Policy, she brings sharp insights to Canada’s economic and social challenges. Rupa will argue for the motion.
