The Agenda with Steve Paikin S12E131 - Politics in the Digital Age

A generational shift is underway in Canadian politics, as millennials increasingly outnumber baby boomers at the polls. The first cohort of digital natives, and they bring with them new technologies, new attitudes and expectations. To discuss how this is changing political culture and practice, The Agenda welcomes a panel of political journalists, pundits, and consultants. Then, there's always been some level of distrust for politicians. That's become almost palpable in recent years, opening the way for candidates who in the past would have been inconceivable. What has changed to make so many feel that democratic politics isn't really serving their interests? To discuss this, The Agenda welcomes Graham Steele, former Nova Scotia finance minister and author of "The Effective Citizen: How to Make Politicians Work for You."
