NEW - Smart Speakers: The News Is Loud. It's Also Missing You

What the news isn't telling you right now fits in one sentence:

the things happening far away are already in your wallet.

There is something specific that happens when you hear a leader drop an F-bomb answering a joke question at a fireside chat. Your grandmother's voice shows up. Words are gifts, or they are shortcuts, and you are suddenly not sure which one you just witnessed. The casual version felt real. The proper version felt managed. Neither answer is wrong, and that tension is the whole story.

The News Is Loud. It's Also Missing You.

Media fragmentation is why you know more about what is happening in Washington than in your own Parliament. You went looking for news and found a volume of garbage with a curated feel, personalized enough to keep you scrolling, specific enough to feel informed, and disconnected enough from home that the deputy ministers changed and it did not register.

The shared media agenda of two or three local papers and a local newscast is gone. What replaced it does not yet speak to what Canadians need from their own country. That language is overdue.
