Canadian Secular Alliance Question & Answer Session at Eschaton 2012

After my speech at Eschaton 2012, there was a Q&A session with three Canadian Secular Alliance panelists: Justin Trottier, Veronica Abbass, and myself.

Questions raised included spending during Canadian political campaigns, the limits of free speech, and whether organizations such as CSA and CFI Canada can and should embrace the religious who agree with the principles of secular governance.

If asked today, I would probably change my answer (ten minutes in) to the question about the federal Conservatives having an explicit anti-science agenda.

Overall, I am happy with the thoughtful and spirited exchange of ideas. Enjoy.
