Is democracy doomed? | CBC
September 27, 2022 | Professor Jennifer Welsh joined Nahlah Ayed for a discussion on disinformation and the future of democracy.
She commented on the path to the illusionary "triumph" of liberal democracy and that there was nothing inevitable about it. "Democracy is very difficult to build and sustain… [If] you study democracy, you recognize that it's a process. You have to invest in that. You have to be committed to it. And I think we lost sight of that." she said.
She highlighted the two chief characteristics of democracy: equality of voice and fairness, where both those traits have weakened.
