- Protecting kids or deputizing censors? The risks posed by social media ban
- Runtime

- Description
- The Carney government has now officially tabled Bill C-34, also known as the Safe Social Media Act. Among other things, the bill creates a "duty to act responsibly" on social media companies, and a "duty to protect children," including a new ban on social media for children under 16 (with some exception). In this interview with NP Comment's Rob Breakenridge, privacy lawyer David Fraser outlines his concerns over the legislation, and the potential impacts on privacy and free speech. Fraser worries that the ban takes away parental control and discretion and could eventually be challenged in court. There's also the privacy concerns now stemming from the sort of age verification that all users will be forced to go through. Moreover, Fraser warns, it's not totally clear what the definition of "social media" is under this law or how broad that interpretation will be. In many ways, he says, the devil is still in the details.

- Description
- This week in Ottawa, climate activist Victoria Romero testified before the Senate Standing Committee on Energy, the Environment and Natural Resources. She told senators, the MMIWG report “identified direct links between resource extraction projects like oil pipelines and violence towards Indigenous women…”
Her recommendation? "immediately end all new oil and gas extraction in Canada" or "end subsidies to the industry."
Ensuring women working on these sites feel comfortable reporting abuse from colleagues and partners makes sense. Using this report in an attempt to kill energy projects is dishonest, as that is not even its recommendation.

- There is a growing political and constitutional crisis in British Columbia sparked by the province's Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act (DRIPA). The growing controversy around DRIPA and its impacts has become a major political severe headache for Premier David Eby, whose plan to suspend the law fell apart amid threats of blockade and lawsuits from Indigenous leaders. In this interview with NP's Rob Breakenridge, Without Diminishment co-founder and National Post contributor Geoff Russ makes the case that DRIPA has evolved into a "quasi-constitutional veto" and "legal stranglehold" that threatens democratic governance, social cohesion, resource development, and even the names of B.C. municipalities. Russ warns that the rest of Canada should be paying attention, and that B.C.'s experience should serve as a cautionary tale.

The area in which the graves were said to lie is known as the apple orchard. And it sits right atop a septic field installed in 1926. The anomalies were found atop a historic septic field, and the survey data wouldn't be able to show a difference.

- Description
- Wednesday marks the five-year anniversary of the announcement that hundreds of unmarked graves had been discovered at a former residential school site in Kamloops, B.C. - an announcement that made headlines around the world and ignited an emotional debate here at home around the legacy of residential schools. Since then, however, the initial claims about graves at the Kamloops site have been walked back, as has been the case with similar claims at other sites. No actual new burial sites have been confirmed or unearthed. In this interview with Rob Breakenridge, author, journalist, and National Post columnist Terry Glavin argues that sensationalized reporting and political opportunism fueled false and exaggerated claims of "mass graves" and other horrific crimes. That, he says, sparked widespread civil unrest and ultimately damaged the credibility of genuine residential school survivors.

In this interview with the National Post's Rob Breakenridge, Chong explains why he felt it was important to send a message to China that elected Canadian MPs won't be intimidated from visiting and engaging with Taiwan. He also believes that in the interests of stability in the Indo-Pacific region, as well as Canada's long long-term economic interests, we need to strengthen our relationships with democratic allies. But does the Carney government view things the same way? Is our new trade agreement with China limiting Canada's willingness to take a stand on such matters?
