New measures outlined in Prime Minister Mark Carney’s mini-budget are projected to reach $37.5 billion in net new spending over the next six years.

At this year’s DemocracyXChange summit, executive director of The Walrus Jennifer Hollett sat down with writer and digital-rights activist Cory Doctorow for a conversation about the internet and the decay of public trust online.
