Background: Utilizing a constructionist frame analysis to identify key messages, this study investigates the impact of Health Canada news releases on print media coverage during the rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine. Analysis: The analysis focuses on seven frames related to the vaccination rollout: safety and efficacy, global accessibility, domestic accessibility, distribution logistics, distribution timeline, continued preventative measures, and vaccine mistrust. Conclusions and implications: The authors found missed opportunities for public health behaviour frames in Health Canada press releases, significant differences in the framing of the vaccine in press releases versus news reports, and the lack of an agenda-setting effect based on the proportion of frames carried over.

Background: International research has found that educational responses to technology-facilitated violence and bullying (TFVB) often fail to address the technosocial realities of young people’s integrated online/offline and virtual/physical lives. Analysis: This article undertakes a Canadian case study of Nova Scotia’s CyberScan unit to understand if similar shortcomings persist in Canadian educational responses. Conclusions and implications: Using the interdisciplinary theoretical framework of digital criminology, the article shows that CyberScan exemplifies a problematic “cyber safety” approach that fails to recognize and address the technosocial nature of TFVB, resulting in ineffective and disempowering educational messages.

Background: Internet scholars are uncovering and connecting histories of early internets across the globe, but the Canadian context remains underexplored. Drawing on unpublished and declassified documents of the Canadian Armed Forces at Ottawa’s Directorate of History and Heritage, this article investigates the history and significance of SAMSON (Strategic Automatic Message Switching Operational Network), an early Canadian internet that experienced a series of setbacks beginning almost immediately at its advent in 1965, until the project was completed in 1984. Analysis: Canada’s internet infrastructural techno-politics are examined through Brian Larkin’s framework of examining technical ways through which the political is constituted. Conclusions and implications: This paper shows how this early internet was a techno-political system that shaped and was shaped by Canada’s pursuit of its national identity amid fears of U.S. influence and rising demands for self-determination within the Québécois and Indigenous nations.

Background: It is now commonplace to say that democracy is in crisis. What exactly does that diagnosis mean? Analysis: Examining an archive of Google Alerts over the past three years, this commentary addresses themes and contradictions in the public debate about the so-called crisis of democracy. Conclusions and implications: The analysis shows that debate is characterized by significant disagreement on the nature of the crisis—how it started, its main symptoms, and its potential resolution. While this commentary rejects the assumption that liberal democracy is in crisis, it argues that there is radical insight and potential in this misguided view.

Background: In Canada, actors in industry, government, and civil society have proposed small modular reactors as a technological solution to climate change. Analysis: A quantitative and qualitative content analysis of New Brunswick’s mainstream newspapers indicates a profound bias in favour of perspectives drawn from actors in industry and government. The sources underemphasize the risk profile of small modular reactors, delegitimize criticism, and promote a nuclear realist project tied to the imperatives of neoliberal capitalism and colonialism. Conclusions and implications: Disproportionate coverage of pro-nuclear sources from industry and government thwarts representative public deliberation. Indigenous nations, acting as counterpublics, challenge technocratic, colonial, and neoliberal discourse.

Contexte : Plusieurs usagers s’identifient via un processus d’authentification où leurs données personnelles sont détenues par des plateformes telles que Facebook et des tiers. Le modèle du crédit transactionnel analyse la marchandisation qui se produit lors de l’authentification. Analyse : J’explique les implications de la marchandisation des données personnelles par l’authentification en utilisant le cas de Cambridge Analytica. Conclusions et implications : Le crédit transactionnel est devenu un moyen pour les opérateurs de plateforme de générer de la valeur en produisant des informations en tant que sous-produit de l’authentification.
