How social media is turning Canadian politics into noise instead of substance

Shane Hewitt talks with Matt Gurney about the shifting landscape of Canadian politics and the outsized role social media plays in shaping public discourse. They explore how engagement often turns into noise—validation over substance—and why politics has become just another distraction in daily life. From the rapid churn of public opinion to the strategies of political figures who will shape Canada’s future, this conversation digs into why meaningful engagement matters, and how Canadians can move beyond commentary to real-world involvement.
