Thunder Bay Debate Club

A Thunder Bay club for discussing politics, philosophy and other ideas. Join the conversation at Barkeep.

Politics and philosophy in Thunder Bay

Thunder Bay Debate Club brings people together to discuss politics, philosophy and the ideas that shape how we live. The club offers a place for local conversation: to put a question into words, explain a perspective and consider how someone else sees it. Meetings take place at Barkeep on Wednesday evenings at 7 p.m. Whether a current political issue or a longstanding philosophical question has caught your attention, you are welcome to bring it to the discussion.

Ideas worth discussing

A conversation might begin with a question about politics and public life, an ethical dilemma, or an idea from a book or essay. Philosophy gives us ways to examine what we believe and why; political discussion connects those questions to the choices people and communities face.

The invitation extends beyond those subjects. Bring an idea you would like to explore, a perspective you want to develop, or a question you have not yet found an answer to. There is room to think through an argument without arriving with a finished position.

Make time for your people
