This December, worldwide history will be made down under, as Australia implements a social media ban for children aged 16-and-under. This new legislation, known as the Online Safety Amendment Bill, was passed in November 2024. Not even parents will be allowed to grant social media consent to their kids, unless they are 17-and-older. Youtube, TikTok, Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, Reddit, and Snapchat are all included under this ban. Today, a non-profit group in Canada is calling on the feds to implement a cellphone ban for anyone aged 14-and-under. Are you on board with this directive? Does it go far enough? Kristy Cameron sifts through the CFRA textboard and tackles today’s Question of the Day. Plus, the original Political Heat Panel has returned for the final edition of August, as the trio analyzes Prime Minister Carney’s recent removal of several retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods. He is hoping to get on America’s good side and strike a trade compromise. In doing so, did he surrender all of his leverage?
