We’re joined by Tech Won’t Save Us host Paris Marx to talk Canadian politics and NZ parallels. We discuss the rise of right-wing ideology and PR as well as the influence of tech venture capital and western alignment around “security partnerships” like AUKUS.

ed. note: Paris kindly fact-checked themselves on a point made at 00:24:35 regarding political donations. Corporations in Canada can't donate to political parties and individuals are limited to $1725 a year as noted here.
