Show Notes
Rudyard Griffiths and Harrison Lowman discuss a recent Government of Canada advertising campaign promoting Canadian patriotism and national pride, and the jarring disconnect between the ad's upbeat, flag-waving messaging and the current reality facing Canadians, from economic uncertainty, high unemployment, to everyday cost of living struggles. They explore whether this represents state propaganda, with the government potentially spending millions on symbolic imagery, rather than investing in tangible improvements and concrete results that would give Canadians genuine reasons for national pride.
