Reply To: The digital divides in Canada are unsettling. These inequities impact many of our citizens. Our social and economic development suffer because of this. Ignoring this issue is reckless. What would you do to democratize Canada’s internet?

I agree that this is an important issue that needs to be addressed. I would continue to build on the progress that CIRA has already made in this area through their Community Investment program. I would look for ways to enable affordable, ubiquitous broadband as well as support the adoption of internet services by providing devices, awareness and training.
