Is the Internet making us less human? This is VANCOLOUR host Mo Amir explores three questions about technology, addiction and modern discourse in the internet age. First, Vancouver communications strategist Kylie McMullan (Finch Media) breaks down the “dead internet theory”. Is this once-fringe conspiracy theory becoming reality? Plus, comedian Dino Archie and pollster Mario Canseco hit the Low Road to discuss Canada’s apparent gambling boom. From sports betting apps to bizarre wagers on platforms like Polymarket, how do Canadians really feel about gambling? Finally, veteran broadcaster Lynda Steele (Change My Mind podcast) explores whether we watch the news to get informed… or simply to feel validated. How do we achieve honest dialogue in a media landscape built around outrage and algorithm-driven confirmation bias instead of curiosity and truth? Recorded: May 18, 2026
