Episode 4. Balarama Holness: Winning Is Overrated

Black on the Ballot

Balarama Holness’ personal path to politics is unique. From growing up in an ashram, to a career as a professional football player, to running for mayor and founding a provincial political party. He became political, not necessarily to win, but to use the system to force change. How? In this conversation with host Nana aba Duncan, Balarama Holness talks about running for office and his conviction that, in politics, winning isn’t everything.

In 2020, a New York Times headline described Balarama Holness as “the man striving to be the ‘Canadian Obama.’” Like Barack Obama, Balarama’s political career is rooted in community engagement, activism, and changing the system from within.

This episode features:

Balarama Holness, candidate for Montréal-Nord borough mayor (2017), mayoral candidate for Montréal (2021), and provincial candidate for Bloc Montréal (2022)

Alvin Curling, Member of Ontario’s Provincial Parliament (1985-2005), speaker of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario (2003-2005), and Canada’s ambassador to the Dominican Republic (2005-2006)

This episode includes an audio clip from CTV’s W5.
