This cartoon is 100% accurate.
Ottawa is trying to sell a ban on social media for kids under 16 as โchild protection.โ
Itโs not.
Itโs a Trojan Horse for a national digital ID.
Bill C-34 (the Safe Social Media Act) sounds noble on the surface. But to actually enforce an age ban, the government would need every Canadian to prove who they are before they can go online.
That means handing over government ID, biometrics, or a state-approved digital credential just to use X, Instagram, YouTube, or even search the web.
Theyโve already admitted real harms exist online. Predators, bullying, and addiction are real problems.
But parents donโt need Ottawa bureaucrats and a national ID system to protect their kids. Parents have been doing that job for generations.
This is the same trick theyโve used for years: create a crisis, offer โsafetyโ as the solution, and quietly take more control over your life and your data.
