Show notes

Former journalist, diplomat, and Independent Canadian Senator Pamela Wallin reflects on democracy through the lens of a career that has spanned media, public service, and politics. Wallin argues that one of the greatest challenges facing democracies today is the erosion of trust in institutions, governments, and shared sources of information. She explores how technological change, social media, and increasing political polarization have transformed public life and weakened common civic experiences.
