Résumé: The last two decades have seen a revolution in communication technology with the widespread adoption and use of computer networks and digital technologies. In this research project, we focus on the central question of how these technologies have transformed the practice of democratic citizenship in Canada. We examine more closely the digital skills of Canadian citizens, as disparities in capabilities to use technologies is a new source of divide. We also examine how Canadians use online technologies to gather information about politics, use e-government services, and engage in various forms of participation (institutional, civic and discursive forms, offline and online). The design includes a phone survey of 2000 Canadians, a three- wave panel survey conducted over 18 months, and semi-structured interviews with some respondents to the panel survey. This project is funded by a SSHRC Insight Grant. The team also includes Harold Jansen, Royce Koop and Tamara Small.
