At a Loss for Words

“If our language doesn’t have a means to express an idea, then the idea itself is gone—even the range of thought is diminished,” writes award-winning author and broadcast journalist Carol Off in her new book At A Loss for Words. Here, the veteran co-host of CBC Radio’s As It Happens digs deep into six words whose meanings have been distorted and weaponized in recent years—including democracy, freedom and truth—and asks whether we can reclaim their value. She joins writer, teacher, and journalist Pauline Dakin in conversation at this free event. Register for a ticket to secure your spot.
