On this episode of the Global Exchange, Chris Waddell speaks to Luiza Ch. Savage, Peter Donolo, Marcus Kolga, and Farhaan Ladhani about how to protect democracy in the face of disinformation.

This episode is an extract from our conference "After the War: What Kind of World for Canada?" which happened on May 10th, 2022. This event was made possible thanks to the support of our strategic sponsors Lockheed Martin Canada, General Dynamics, Irving Shipbuilding, and Davie Shipyard, and of our Bronze conference sponsors, Enbridge and TD.
