What’s the difference between shaming people and shaming harmful behaviour?
Parksville councillors Joel Grenz and Sean Wood take on one of the trickiest words in modern politics: stigma.
From anti-smoking campaigns and seatbelts to vaping, littering, and impaired driving, this episode explores how culture and policy have worked together to steer society, using stigma as a tool for good.
And with B.C.’s legislature debating whether schools should promote stigma against drug use, the conversation turns to where compassion ends and accountability begins.
🎧 Listen in for:
- Why stigma isn’t always the villain it’s made out to be
- How shaming actions (not people) changed public behaviour… from smoking to drunk driving
- The fine line between compassion and consequence in addiction policy
- Bill M 213 and what both sides of the aisle might be missing
- How governments can use culture—not just legislation—to drive change
