As local journalism declines and digital platforms proliferate, citizens face an environment saturated with misinformation, disinformation, and AI-generated deepfakes. What are the consequences for public trust and informed citizenship? And what, if anything, can be done to strengthen the information foundations of democracy?May 11Democracy in Danger? Misinformation, Polarization, and Online ToxicityDr. Jaigris Hodson explores how misinformation, political polarization, and online toxicity reinforce one another, creating the conditions for online extremism and anti-democratic movements. These forces don’t just spread harassment and abuse, they often even politicize the public good, singling out marginalized publics and sowing division. Drawing on a public health framework, Hodson introduces the concept of information “dis-ease” and a social determinants of information health approach. Addressing these underlying conditions, they argue, is essential to strengthening democratic communication at both local and national levels.June 15Canada Is Not Broken — But It Is Under StrainCanada’s democratic institutions remain intact, yet they are showing signs of stress. Publicconfidence has eroded, economic and social disparities are widening, and political disenchantment is growing. While Canada may not face the immediate threats seen elsewhere, complacency carries its own risks. In this session, Jonathan Manthorpe reflects on what has gone wrong, why confidence in democratic institutions has weakened, and what reforms may be necessary to renew them. The challenge is not only to repair institutions that risk dysfunction, but to prepare them for a rapidly changing global landscape. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/victoria/a-fragile-democratic-moment-risks-responsibilities-renewal/100001984812759393 - **Event Categories**: health-wellness, contests, art, fine-arts - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 20, currency: CAD ## Event venue details - **city**: Victoria - **state**: BC - **country**: Canada - **location**: Broad View United - **lat**: 48.4610321 - **long**: -123.3295242 - **full address**: Broad View United, 3703 Saint Aidans Street, Victoria, Canada ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: A Fragile Democratic Moment: Risks, Responsibilities, Renewal - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/e910739b3bc18d138bcc2a4fe06a12a4e757d169559b64a9fc0be27dcebabc47-rimg-w1200-h600-dc7e8d7d-gmir.jpg?v=1773234381 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is A Fragile Democratic Moment: Risks, Responsibilities, Renewal being held? - **A:** A Fragile Democratic Moment: Risks, Responsibilities, Renewal takes place on Mon, 06 Apr, 2026 at 07:00 pm to Mon, 15 Jun, 2026 at 09:00 pm at Broad View United, 3703 Saint Aidans Street, Victoria, Canada. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for A Fragile Democratic Moment: Risks, Responsibilities, Renewal? - **A:** Tickets for A Fragile Democratic Moment: Risks, Responsibilities, Renewal are priced at CAD 20 per person.
