About this listen
In this installment of The New Canadiana, Christopher M. Michaud reflects on a conversation with a technologist who offered a simple but unsettling observation: shame is disappearing from public life.
Social media has empowered voices across the country. It has expanded reach and lowered barriers. But it has also weakened restraint. The quiet voice that once asked, “What would my family think?” doesn’t seem as loud anymore.
Drawing from his time living in Ottawa, listening to staffers, politicians, diplomats, lobbyists, and everyday Canadians in the back seat of his car, Christopher explores something deeper than outrage.
Fatigue.
Not radicalism. Not revolution. Fatigue.
Beneath the shouting and the algorithms, many Canadians aren’t looking to tear the country apart. They’re simply tired of the constant tug-of-war.
This episode asks whether moderation, accountability, and balance still have a place in a megaphone culture.
Part of The New Canadiana, a series of real conversations about what it feels like to live in Canada right now.
