Description

As many people have been forced to work from home and conduct their business remotely, the COVID-19 pandemic has shown the importance of high-speed internet for all Canadians. Access to fast, reliable internet in pandemic times and the digital age is not just about downloading files or streaming Netflix. It is about getting access to education, health and equal opportunities. Alex Boutilier, a national politics reporter with the Toronto Star, joins This Matters to talk about the digital inequality resulting from high speed internet access, what the digital divide means for Canadians and what it will take to end it.
