Max Taylor is a young communicator and mayoral candidate here in Halifax. His campaign is not built to win; instead, it's designed to produce a scarce resource in political communication locally and globally: engagement. In this conversation I talk to him about the kind of courage he’s needed to run for mayor, why people who see it as a transparent attempt to gain followers don’t get it, and why he cares about setting a precedent for more direct participation in politics, especially among young people.Check out Max's TikTok here: https://www.tiktok.com/@maxemersontaylor?lang=en (You'll find a link to his campaign site through the page.)
