À propos de ce contenu audio

Canada’s democracy is under threat, and the stakes are high. But when we focus on how we are connected, we find the power to act - to strengthen what’s working and fix what’s not.


This is what is behind the Samara Centre for Democracy’s latest podcast, hosted by Sabreena Delhon. It’s called Group Chat and this five-part series is where we bring people together to make sense of what’s happening in our democracy.


Group Chat is funded by the Rideau Hall Foundation and the Flanagan Foundation.

      Is Technology Democracy’s Saviour or Downfall?
      Jul 2 2025

      Taiwan’s former Digital Minister Audrey Tang and economist Glen Weyl share an infectious techno optimism. In a surprisingly spiritual conversation, they tell us why they want to invite more, not less, technology into the democratic process. We also talk to Bianca Wylie from Digital Public about the limitations of tech as a tool of salvation.
