“Gouvernance inclusive et démocratie à l’heure de la polarisation”

This panel discussion focused on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on already existing cleavages in Canadian society. Our panellists will discuss the following issues: What is the role of social media in the development and spread of conspiracy theories? How has the pandemic affected political partisanship? Now that we have faced two years of the pandemic, how robust is confidence in our political institutions? And we know the pandemic is exacerbating inequalities, especially in marginalized communities, but has it increased solidarity with these populations?

Note that the event was held in French.
