Description

In the winter of 2022, thousands of Canadians descended on Ottawa for the Freedom Convoy. It was one of the largest displays of civil disobedience in the country's history - a movement by Canadians, for Canadians. But if that's the case, why did Russia's state controlled TV networks send correspondents there? And why did messaging groups devoted to the Convoy start posting press releases from the Kremlin? Was the Freedom Convoy a Russian influence operation? To find out, we talk with foreign interference and disinformation experts Caroline Orr Bueno, Marcus Kolga, and Aengus Bridgman.

Parents are constantly told what they should and shouldn’t do when it comes to kids and technology. But what plays out in reality is usually a different story. So, how are parents supposed to help their kids navigate the digital world? Presented by Antica Productions and TVO, join hosts Taylor Owen and Nicole Edwards as they talk to parents and kids who are navigating the digital world, and the researchers and policymakers who can help us understand its impact.
