“Should a Public Telecom Be An Election Issue?” A Davenport NDP town hall with author and journalist Cory Doctorow

In the midst of financial hardship, overpriced and underserviced digital accessibility is being foisted on those who need them most but can afford them least: Indigenous communities, rural residents, students, social service recipients (ODSP/OW) and the working poor.

Join us as Cory Doctorow, a trailblazer in the fight to expose the digital oligopolies’ predatory machinations and to democratize the internet, will make a social, tehnological, and political case for New Democrats to embrace the demand for a public telecom in the upcoming elections next year. Cory, a journalist, activist and the author of 30 books, describes what the corporate telecoms have done to the digital realm with the most popular new word introduced in 2023: “enshittification”.
