SUMMARY - The Rural Broadband Gap & Digital Democracy

The Rural Broadband Gap and Digital Democracy

Rural communities across Canada face persistent gaps in broadband internet access that create significant barriers to economic opportunity, educational access, healthcare delivery, and civic participation. As digital connectivity becomes essential infrastructure for contemporary life, the rural broadband gap threatens to deepen divides between urban and rural Canada. Addressing this gap requires understanding both its causes and its democratic implications.
