Voici le 75e épisode du balado Cyber Citoyen. Cette semaine, Sam Harper et Catherine Dupont-Gagnon font le tour de certains sujets d'actualités liés à la vie privée et la cybersécurité.
On commence en parlant d'une situation aux États-Unis ou un activiste est menacé de prison pour avoir supprimer les données de son téléphone à l'aide d'une fonctionnalité du système d'exploitation GrapheneOS.
On poursuit avec la nouvelle que les russes sont présents dans le WiFi de l'hôtel. Microsoft a publié un rapport sur une campagne de piratage qui cible les clients des hôtels et c'est un bel exemple de techniques de piratage intéressantes. On vous explique donc ce qu'est la technique qui a été baptisée ClickFix ainsi que le "Device code phishing".
Pour en savoir plus, voici des liens:
Pour terminer, on discute d'un document de relations publiques publiés par Flock Security, la compagnie préférée de Catherine. Si vous voulez savoir ce que Catherine pense vraiment de Flock, écoutez jusqu'à la fin!

What’s big and ugly and has united Republicans and Democrats? A.I. data centers.
An overwhelming majority of Americans say they’d oppose a data center being built near where they live. In New York, Gov. Kathy Hochul just imposed a one-year moratorium on data center construction, and there are over 100 other local or statewide moratorium proposals across the country. A.I.’s explosive momentum over the last few years seems to have finally run into a force that could slow it down: the messy politics of getting things done in the real world.
So, is that a good thing, or a bad thing? And how much is the data center backlash about the actual construction of these buildings, and how much is it about A.I. itself?
Jasmine Sun has an excellent newsletter covering both the culture inside the A.I. companies and the anger that’s been building against them. And she just finished a reporting trip in the Midwest, where she interviewed people on all sides of the data center fight. So I wanted to talk to her about what she saw and what she thinks A.I. companies can learn from the growing movement against them.

The first year of President Trump’s second term was a whirlwind of action: on immigration, on trade, on political retribution. But things seem to me to be slowing down quite a bit. Trump is incredibly unpopular, and he’s now bogged down in a war with Iran that he doesn’t seem capable of ending. He often appears more concerned with his many White House renovations than with whether the Republican Party can hold the House and the Senate in November. So what’s going on in this administration? Where is this all going?
It’s hard to think of a journalist more qualified to answer those questions than Maggie Haberman. As a White House correspondent for The New York Times, she’s published some of the hardest-hitting reporting about Trump’s second act as president and the group of loyalists that now surrounds him.
Haberman, alongside her New York Times colleague Jonathan Swan, just published an extraordinary chronicle of this extraordinary political moment, “Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump.” In this conversation, we discuss how decisions get made in this White House, what Trump has achieved so far and what’s really motivating him as we head toward the midterms.

President Trump is very unpopular right now. But polls show the Democratic Party is just as unpopular – if not more so. So what can the party do about it?
But to answer that question, you first have to understand what the Democratic Party is. That is, mechanically, what is it? What powers does it have? When you call the Democratic Party, who picks up the phone? And how can that party, the official party, be reinvented for this era?
Ben Wikler has a unique perspective on this question. He transformed the Democratic Party of Wisconsin into a fund-raising, door-knocking powerhouse when he served as chair from 2019 to 2025. And he’s shared some of his insights from winning elections in a swing state in his new book, “This Is The Plan: How to End America's Meltdown and Save Democracy.”
In this conversation, we discuss Wikler’s vision for a reinvigorated party, as well as the kinds of changes he thinks Democrats need to embrace if they want to build a bigger tent and a national majority.

Morris Katz helped orchestrate Zohran Mamdani’s historic victory and Graham Platner’s ultimately disastrous run for Senate. It’s quite a résumé for a political consultant who is still in his 20s.
Platner’s implosion could prove particularly costly for Democrats. It may mean the difference between winning and losing a Senate majority. But before the rape accusation that ended his campaign, Platner had come out of nowhere to beat Janet Mills, the sitting governor of Maine, who was Chuck Schumer’s hand-picked candidate. The lessons to take from that campaign remain angrily contested.
Katz, a senior adviser to Platner, has been central to many of the most attention-grabbing, populist campaigns in recent years: Besides Mamdani’s New York mayoral upset, he worked on John Fetterman’s 2022 Senate campaign and Dan Osborn’s 2024 independent Senate run in Nebraska. He has figured something out about this political moment. Along the way, he has become a controversial figure himself.
So what has he gotten right? And what has he learned from what he’s gotten wrong?

How Brian Eno expanded the possibilities of what music and sound can be.
Eno is a trailblazing musician and producer who’s worked on seminal records by U2, David Bowie, the Talking Heads and Coldplay, among others. But Eno isn’t just a great collaborator with other artists; he’s also a great collaborator with machines. Long before we started worrying about A.I. replacing human creativity, Eno was tinkering with generative systems to pioneer ambient music – a genre that has deeply influenced how we listen to music today.
We recorded this conversation in 2025, and it’s one of my favorite recent episodes of the show. So I wanted to resurface it this summer for anyone who may have missed it the first time.

You can’t understand China today without understanding its president, Xi Jinping.
Since coming to power in 2012, Xi has doubled down on communist ideology and significantly consolidated his own power while transforming China into an industrial juggernaut unrivaled in the world. And Xi’s ambitions for China go far beyond that.
So what does Xi want for China in the coming years? And how should the United States respond?
Kevin Rudd has a unique perspective on these questions. He first met Xi in the 1980s, when Rudd was a China analyst in Australia’s foreign service and Xi was a local party official. Decades later, when Rudd was the prime minister of Australia and Xi was China’s vice president, the two men got to know each other better. And after leaving office, Rudd decided to really try to understand Xi; his latest book, “On Xi Jinping: How Xi’s Marxist Nationalism Is Shaping China and the World,” is built off the doctorate he pursued at Oxford after his time as prime minister. Rudd recently finished a stint as Australia’s ambassador to the United States and is now the global president and chief executive of the Asia Society.
In this conversation, Rudd explains Xi’s ideology and the forces that shaped it, his ambitions for China and strategy for achieving them, and what Xi thinks of the United States and Trump.

Already this summer, there have been huge wildfires in the Southwest and Great Plains and an extraordinary heat wave in Europe, as the world stares down the barrel of a powerful El Niño. Climate change is accelerating, and yet climate politics right now is in disarray.
But something else is happening, too. Advances in clean energy technology mean it is now possible to build a world of energy abundance that was the stuff of dreams just a few years ago. That means a new kind of climate politics is possible — one that doesn’t just talk about sacrifice and disaster prevention but also can present decarbonization as a path to somewhere better, where everyone has more, not less.
Bill McKibben is one of the best people at articulating that vision. He’s a founder of the climate action groups 350.org and Third Act, and he’s been at the vanguard of the climate movement for decades. His 1989 book, “The End of Nature,” is considered the first book on global warming written for a general audience. His latest book, published last year, is “Here Comes the Sun: A Last Chance for the Climate and a Fresh Chance for Civilization.”

The old solutions to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict don’t seem to fit the present reality.
A two-state solution feels increasingly impossible, given the scale of Israeli settlements in the West Bank and the Palestinian determination for a right of return. And a one-state solution, in which Israelis and Palestinians would live as equal citizens in a single state, is hard to imagine, given how strongly both peoples seek political self-determination.
But what if those aren’t the only options?
A Land for All is an Israeli-Palestinian initiative that is proposing a confederation model: two sovereign states, structured to allow freedom of movement between them. It’s a theory of peace based on neither separation nor unification. It holds, first, that both peoples have a relationship to and claim on all the land and, second, that both peoples want to control their own political destinies.
I have been — and am — skeptical of solutions to a conflict that is so devoid of the political conditions for a settlement. But even if you’re far from your destination, it’s worth knowing where it is you hope to go. So could this be an answer for both peoples? How would it handle the problems that have bedeviled previous solutions, from security and violence to religious extremism?
Rula Hardal and May Pundak are the executive directors of A Land for All. Hardal is a Palestinian citizen of Israel who received her doctorate in political science from the University of Hannover in Germany, and Pundak is an Israeli lawyer, activist and social entrepreneur. They joined me to explain how A Land for All would work and why they think it might succeed where so much else has failed.

What does it mean to celebrate America on its 250th anniversary?
The Trump administration’s festivities — from the U.F.C. fight on the White House lawn to the Great American State Fair — have centered American glory and greatness. What has been missing are the Americans who fought to move America closer to its promises. They had to love a country — or at least believe in a country — that often failed them. How did they do it?
Beneath that is a deep question for anyone who loves a country, or even loves another person: How do you love something in its wholeness, amid its imperfections and failures?
One person who is thinking deeply about how to do this is Bryan Stevenson. He’s a civil rights lawyer and the founder of the Equal Justice Initiative, which is based in Montgomery, Ala. E.J.I. has created a series of museums and sites in Montgomery that aim to examine America’s history of enslavement, racial violence and segregation, while also uplifting and honoring the people who endured these systems and fought to upend them.
The sites are remarkable to witness, as I found out when I visited Montgomery, and they hold America’s manifold truths in tension with one another — all its horror and beauty, tragedy and triumph, inhumanity and humanity.
I asked Stevenson how he’s thinking about America’s 250th birthday — and what work the country has left to fulfill its vision of liberty and equality for all.

Christopher Rufo is arguably the most successful activist of the MAGA era. He rose to prominence fighting D.E.I. initiatives and critical race theory. In President Trump’s second term, he’s had a huge influence on policy, from Trump’s executive orders against D.E.I. and the attacks on the Department of Education to the ICE and C.B.P. deployments to Minneapolis.
Rufo, helpfully, calls his shots. He has published a guide, “The New Right Activism: A Manifesto for the Counterrevolution,” in which he argued for the value of “agitprop” and counseled that “political life moves on narrative, emotion, scandal, anger, hope, and faith — on irrational, or at least subrational, feelings.” But more recently, in his writing and on the podcast he co-hosts, “Rufo & Lomez,” he seems worried about the new right he has helped build: its attraction to conspiracy theories, its racialist thinking, its internal fissures.
So I wanted to have him on the show to talk about the problems he sees on his side, but also to interrogate whether he may have scored short-term victories while seeding profound long-term problems.
Rufo is a senior fellow and director of the initiative on critical race theory at the Manhattan Institute. He’s a contributing editor of City Journal and the author of “America’s Cultural Revolution: How the Radical Left Conquered Everything.”

Avec le professeur Massimiliano Mulone de l’École de criminologie de l’Université de Montréal, on plonge dans la tourmente suite aux allégations graves de gestes racistes qui planent sur plusieurs policiers du poste 39 du SPVM. Avec le professeur Mulone qui travaille avec les corps policiers depuis longtemps, on fait un pas de recul afin d’élargir la réflexion sur le racisme présent au sein des forces policières et notamment les pratiques discursives utilisées pour freiner toutes tentatives de changement de culture.
En pleine période de déménagement partout au Québec, on reçoit la chercheuse Raquel Fernandez et l’essayiste Camille Toffoli afin de réfléchir au logement dans une perspective féministe à partir des réflexions contenus dans Chez Elles, un essai inspiré du parcours féministe de Toffoli et de son implication dans la cause du droit au logement. S'entrecroisent également les réflexions de Raquel Fernandez sur la sécurité dans un marché locatif dont la violence frappe plus particulièrement les femmes à l'intersection de plusieurs réalités. Une réflexion importante au moment où le nombre de féminicides augmente sans cesse alors qu'un attentat raté contre des femmes défraie les manchettes pour les mauvaise raisons.
La vignette de l'épisode est inspirée de la couverture de l'essai et d'une des illustrations d'Isabelle Caron qui parsèment magnifiquement l'essai.

A hypervisual, looks-obsessed, wellness-crazed, postliterate society where we’re constantly staring at screens and evaluating one another based on metrics, as the country around us feels like it’s falling apart: That sounds like the world we live in. It’s also the world Gary Shteyngart created in his 2010 novel, “Super Sad True Love Story.”
I’ve been thinking about the book a lot recently, especially with the rise of the “looksmaxxing” influencer Clavicular and the longevity guru Bryan Johnson, and this feeling that people are upset and agitated but grabbing at the wrong things to fix it. It feels uncannily like the experience of living inside Shteyngart’s novel.
But Shteyngart isn’t just a dystopian prophet, he’s also an expert at living well amid the world’s darkness. His forthcoming book, “The Sensualist: Adventures in Pure Pleasure,” is an essay collection about his efforts to do exactly that. So I wanted to have Shteyngart on the show to understand how he predicted so many of the grimmer aspects of our present, but also how we might delight in the world’s “endless buffet of pleasure” in spite of them.

Attention is working in really unusual ways this election cycle.
Graham Platner, a political unknown a year ago, ended up dominating his Senate primary against Maine’s sitting governor – even as his campaign was rocked by a series of scandals. James Talarico also seemed to come out of nowhere to become the Democratic nominee for Senate in Texas. Jon Ossoff has ginned up a ton of excitement as a potential 2028 presidential contender, in part because of his viral videos. Meanwhile, the former reality TV personality Spencer Pratt became a political star on X during his bid to become mayor of Los Angeles and yet failed to make the runoff.
All of this has a lot of lessons for how attention is working right now in American politics. So I wanted to have on my favorite person to talk to on this topic. Chris Hayes is the host of “All In With Chris Hayes” on MS NOW and the author of “The Sirens’ Call: How Attention Became the World’s Most Endangered Resource.”

La balado s’est rendue au St-Jean Comédie Club de Québec pour un enregistrement devant public avec deux figures incontournables de la vie intellectuelle et littéraire de la vieille capitale: Catherine Dorion et Simon-Pierre Beaudet. Avec comme point de départ leurs essais respectifs Le courage et la joie et Hubris. Une histoire des années 2010, la discussion se déploie afin de nous offrir des réflexions riches et puissantes sur comment combattre la morosité et la montée du fascisme à grands coups de dialogues, d'attitude punk et de nihilisme.
On termine l’épisode avec la présentation du dernier numéro de la revue Liberté avec la co-éditrice Claire Ross.

The Democratic Party is in the middle of a rupture over foreign policy – with Israel and Palestine at the center.
In recent weeks, the Democratic senators Brian Schatz and Chris Van Hollen both called for a break with the Biden administration’s policies toward Israel. Schatz said the next administration needs “a whole new crop of foreign policy staffers,” while Van Hollen went further, accusing Biden’s senior decision makers of “complicity.” And Gaza has become a central issue splitting Democrats in primaries around the country. It’s become such a profound fault line, it reminds me of how the Iraq war remade the Democratic Party years ago.
And Democrats face huge foreign policy questions beyond Gaza, too. Trump has taken a wrecking ball to the rules-based order, and the American public has become increasingly cynical about U.S. interventions abroad. Do Democrats want to try to restore what came before Trump? Is that even possible? Or is there a vision for something new?
Matt Duss is at the center of foreign policy thinking on the left. He’s the executive vice president at the Center for International Policy, previously served as Senator Bernie Sanders’s foreign policy adviser and is currently advising Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. So I thought he’d be the perfect person to ask: What would a left foreign policy actually look like? What would it try to do in the world?Mentioned:

Dans cet épisode, Godefroy Laurendeau nous fait découvrir le travail de Francis Lepage, urbaniste de formation et auteur d’un ouvrage incroyablement pertinent: Regards sur la ville, comprendre les enjeux urbains contemporains.
Pour sa dernière chronique de la saison, Philippe de Grosbois décortique le discours entourant les « oubliés » du système économique et débusque ce qui se cache derrière.
Et on clôt l’épisode avec Laurence Guénette qui vient nous présenter le dernier numéro de Droits et libertés.
En bonus à la fin fin fin, un extrait prémonitoire de 1977 du grand Yvon Deschamps !
A new masculinist movement has gone mainstream on the right.
The prominent voices in this movement yearn for an earlier time, when men were men and women were women. Sometimes that time seems to be the 1950s, like when Tucker Carlson extols a world where men go to work and women stay at home. But sometimes it goes way farther back. The pastor Doug Wilson advocates household voting, in which men vote for their wives. And Costin Vlad Alamariu, better known as Bronze Age Pervert, harks back to the Bronze Age — specifically the ancient Hittite and Mitanni Empires.
Helen Lewis wrote a recent cover story for The Atlantic about this new antifeminist backlash, which she calls “the single most important force holding together the American right.” So I wanted to have her on the show to talk about these ideas, the political program of this movement and how seriously we should take it.
Lewis is a staff writer at The Atlantic and the author of “Difficult Women: A History of Feminism in 11 Fights” and “The Genius Myth.”

Over the past month, there have been two dominant stories in American foreign policy. One, of course, is the war with Iran. The other is the much-anticipated summit between President Trump and Xi Jinping of China. And I think if you look closely at both of these stories, you see that our foreign policy has entered into a period of absolute incoherence.
I’m not even sure what the status of the Iran war is at this point. What is Trump trying to achieve? What is he willing to accept?
Taking a more hawkish approach to China has been a core and consistent principle of Trump’s since his first term. He’s been insistent that China has taken advantage of the United States and that America needed to change that dynamic and flex more power. But is that happening? Is that even Trump’s position anymore?
So I wanted to do an episode looking at China and Iran and trying to assess Trump’s foreign policy in general and the ways he’s remaking what America means on the world stage.

President Trump doesn’t seem to care that much about winning the midterms. He’s more unpopular at this point in his second term than basically any of his modern predecessors. Democrats seem poised to retake the House and have a real chance of retaking the Senate. You might expect a president in that position to pivot to the center, to focus on voters’ top concerns and try to boost the strongest Republicans in key races.
Trump isn’t doing any of that. Instead, he announced a $1.8 billion slush fund to pay out “victims of lawfare,” he threatened to re-escalate the Iran war, and he intervened in Republican primaries in ways that are gifts to Democrats, like endorsing the scandal-plagued Ken Paxton over the incumbent, John Cornyn, in Texas’ Senate race.
Why doesn’t Trump seem to care more about winning?
Liam Donovan is a Republican strategist and a president at Targeted Victory, a Washington public affairs and digital marketing firm. He has worked on the National Republican Senatorial Committee and for Cornyn. In this conversation, we discuss the moves Trump is making, the rough political environment for Republicans and what the paths to Democratic victories look like.

À l'occasion du 30e anniversaire de la loi québécoise sur l'équité salariale, la balado propose une discussion en compagnie de Jérémie Hains-Pouliot et Maria Allen Demers de la CNESST afin de mesurer tout le parcours historique qui a mené à l'élaboration de cette loi ainsi des défis actuels qui l'occupent. Un épisode pour célébrer le chemin parcouru et comment cette loi demeure pertinente plus que jamais dans un monde en mutation.
What are the conditions that enable a country to become great — or great again? The Trump administration — and other right-wing movements in other countries — offers a vision of greatness based on power and domination abroad, and a mix of shared national and religious stories at home. And that vision is clearly appealing to a lot of people. Liberals in the U.S. and elsewhere have been struggling to tell a story that can compete.
What story would Yuval Noah Harari tell? One of the through lines of Harari’s best-selling books — “Sapiens,” “Homo Deus,” “Nexus” — is the huge role that stories play in shaping the arc of history, driving humans to cooperate on a grand scale to achieve great things, or divide violently against one another.
So I wanted to ask him about the stories that the U.S. and Israel, in particular, seem to have embraced right now. What does history tell us about the power of this story? And why does the liberal story seem so weak right now?
Mentioned:
Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari
Homo Deus by Yuval Noah Harari
Unstoppable Us, Volume 3 by Yuval Noah Harari
“Understanding AI” by Timothy B. Lee

Dans cet épisode, la professeure Mélissa Thériault nous présente l’étonnant Utopie Laurentiana, recueil de textes de science-fiction du terroir canadien-français.
On rencontre aussi le constitutionnaliste Louis-Philippe Lampron pour parler de son percutant essai La démocratie ne se défendra pas toute seule.
Et en 3e partie, le chercheur de l’IRIS Guillaume Tremblay-Boily nous partage ses observations sur l’inquiétante militarisation de l’économie canadienne qui ne fait l’objet d’aucun dans la société.
Et on termine l'épisode avec un succès souvenir brûlant d'actualité !
Catherine, Sam et Nicolas-Loïc ont clairement de la difficulté à demeurer dans le sujet cette semaine.
On commence à parler de campagne de désinformation en Amérique Latine, pour basculer sur la nature de la gauche et de la droite en politique et la fameuse fenêtre d'acceptabilité sociale d'Overton.
On poursuit avec un topo sur Flock et les risques que cela pose pour la vie privée pour ensuite parler de Grok et de code morse. Ça dérape un peu mais on réussi éventuellement à revenir aux gens de partout dans le monde qui s'unissent pour diffuser de la désinformation sur le séparatisme albertain.
La conversation a été considérablement abrégée pour ce balado. Pour entendre le tout sans aucune censure, écoutez-nous en direct sur Twitch.tv/cathdg

We have entered a world of maximum gerrymandering warfare. Any guardrails that once existed, from the Constitution or the courts, have been bulldozed over the last decade – most recently in the Supreme Court decision that gutted the Voting Rights Act and made it harder for minorities to challenge racially discriminatory voting maps.
Red and blue states alike have been aggressively trying to redraw their congressional maps in response to all these developments. And there is no sign that will end in 2028; legislatures will just continue trying to tweak their lines to squeeze out advantage for whatever party is in power. And competitive districts in this country – already an endangered species – now teeter on extinction.
That is, unless something dramatic changes.
Lee Drutman is a senior fellow in the political reform program at New America. He’s one of the most persistent and thoughtful advocates of selecting House members through proportional representation – a system used in many other countries that would make gerrymandering much more difficult. He’s the author of the 2020 book “Breaking the Two-Party Doom Loop: The Case for Multiparty Democracy in America” and writes the newsletter Undercurrent Events.

Pour une 3ème année consécutive, la balado a la chance de vivre un congrès de l’ACFAS, le 93e qui se tenait à l’UQTR. On ouvre l’épisode avec le président Martin Maltais et la directrice-générale Sophie Montreuil avec qui on discute du modèle périmé des universités telles qu’on les connait aujourd'hui et comment on peut les amener ailleurs.
Jonathan Martel nous fait découvrir les travaux du professeur et chercheur Olivier Bégin-Caouette avec qui on discute du grave problème de la non-mobilité de la population estudiantine internationale et comment ça impacte une collectivité comme le Québec.
Mélissa Thériault nous présente la chercheuse Jessie Morin avec qui on discute de l’organisation d’un colloque sur le féminisme en humour et on clôt l’épisode avec le retour à la balado du professeur Johannes Frasnelli qui dans le cadre du colloque, présentait une expérience déroutante à la Cathédrale de Trois-Rivières en compagnie du chercheur et organiste italien Federico Andreoni qui nous offre une surprise à la toute fin !
What do you do when you feel anxious or insecure? Many of us try to push the feeling away, or we ruminate on it, or try to solve it, or avoid the thought altogether. But what would happen if we did the exact opposite?
The Buddhist nun and teacher Pema Chödrön is the author of many beloved books, including “When Things Fall Apart,” “Welcoming the Unwelcome” and — my personal favorite — “Comfortable With Uncertainty.” And she has a way of inviting people to befriend the parts of life that typically induce dread — from uncertainty and suffering to loss and discomfort. And she argues that the process of sitting with these experiences and emotions actually releases their power over us. In a time as chaotic and tumultuous as ours, she has so much practical wisdom to share.
In this conversation, she shares what it looks like to actually let go of difficult emotions, the art of “collaborating with reality” when things don’t go as expected, and how to awaken yourself to the “nowness” of life.

On Friday, I moderated a forum with the top Democratic candidates for California governor, focusing on the state’s housing crisis.
California’s current governor, Gavin Newsom, came into office in 2019 promising to build millions of homes. And in the years since, dozens of pro-housing laws have passed, designed to cut red tape and spur more construction. And yet the number of homes being built in California is basically the same as when he took office, and the state’s housing crisis remains, arguably, the worst in the country. So I wanted to know what the next governor would do about it.
We taped this at the Calvin Simmons Theater in Oakland, Calif. The candidates on the stage were Xavier Becerra, a former attorney general of California and health and human services secretary under President Joe Biden; Matt Mahan, the mayor of San Jose and a tech entrepreneur; Katie Porter, a former U.S. representative; Tom Steyer, a former San Francisco hedge fund manager, a climate activist and a philanthropist; and Antonio Villaraigosa, a former mayor of Los Angeles and speaker of the California State Assembly. This panel was recorded live. The Times did not fact-check candidates’ remarks.

On retrouve avec un plaisir renouvelé l'écrivain Mauricio Ségura pour discuter de son excellent roman Les amandiers en fleurs, une construction narrative complexe qui aborde la visite d'Albert Camus au Chili à la fin des années 40 avec comme toile de fond, la dictature de Pinochet et la mémoire des femmes qui ont courageusement combattu la dictature là-bas et ici à Montréal et les traces laissées par ces combats sur leurs familles.
C'est aussi le retour de la chronique de Maxime Laprise qui a (enfin) terminé son doctorat et qui a maintenant le temps de réfléchir aux discours apocalyptiques qui ont clairsemé l'histoire.
Fred termine l'épisode avec une réflexion sur les épiceries publiques déjà fortement critiquées (Ô surprise) dans les médias traditionnels.
