How do faith, family, and economics explain the world’s new political mood?

In Episode 14 of Toronto Talks, we explore the Right Revival — a global shift in which voters, feeling stretched by rising costs and cultural volatility, are turning toward parties that promise stability, affordability, and order.

Hosted by Ashraf Amin and Sophie AI, this episode examines:

✅ Why household pressures — rent, food, and childcare — are redefining politics
✅ How “free-speech vs. censorship” debates became a cultural fault line
✅ The moral danger of political violence and how Canada could set a cross-party decency standard
✅ Why the right’s story about family, safety, and belonging is landing and how the centre can answer with results, not slogans
✅ How faith-based movements like Turning Point USA reveal media blind spots and enduring spiritual influence
✅ A practical scoreboard Canada could publish to measure real-world progress: wages, housing, childcare, and safety

From grocery bills to group identity, we connect the forces pulling societies rightward — and outline the safeguards that could cool polarization before it hardens.

Segments include:
1️⃣ Why Right Now? – Household economics and the politics of vibes
2️⃣ Free Speech & the Censorship Wars – Counterspeech vs. coercion
3️⃣ Political Violence – Drawing an uncompromising line
4️⃣ Why the Right’s Story Is Landing – Order, cost, and credibility
