How does a full ban approach help kids who use social media as their lifelines to connect with others like them? The neurodivergent and queer kids in small towns with no other resources? Kids with unsupportive families? Kids with abusive parents?
We can all agree that kids should be protected.
Big tech and AI platform are targeting young people before their brains are fully developed. Manitoba is taking action by banning social media and AI chatbots for kids under 16.
It’s about taking back control over our kids eduction, socialization and in the long term, taking back control of our democracy. 🇨🇦

Thank you. To help pass Marit Stiles’ motion, go to BanPredatoryPricing.ca and use the email tool. It will send an email to every single Ontario PC MPP.
The more emails that are sent, the more pressure we can put on the MPPs to break with Doug Ford and support this common-sense motion.

Oh, chronic absenteeism after the pandemic has risen to over 60% for high school students in Ontario?
That’s because IT’S NOT AFTER THE PANDEMIC
Kids are missing school because they are sick, and this is happening on a global scale.

In 2021, I wrote a story about how, when the going gets tough, the Ford government's priority is to "protect the king."
The latest FOI changes appear to underline that government principle.

Temperature is one component of indoor air quality. Unfortunately there's no IAQ policy or law that ensures all buildings have clean air at a safe temperature, at any level of government - this is what CIean Indoor Air Toronto is fighting for!
We need a province wide strategy codifying all new schools be built with A/C and a program funding the renovation work required to bring current buildings up to proper standards. Kids can't learn in excessive heat

The government is purposely unhousing and starving the disabled. There is no place you can rent under these rent caps. NONE.

He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.
