@Calibremag @GlenMotz Yep. Our politicians should know better…

@junonewscom Well… if they scare away all the social media platforms from the Canadian market, I guess that’s one way to keep children (and everyone) off them 🤔

@IanRunkle Awaiting a video with lots of scotch

[Michael Geist @mgeist]

I’ve posted a long FAQ with everything you need to know about a kids’ social media ban. Key takeaway: it is an ineffective and harmful policy that raises privacy concerns for tens of millions of Canadians through mandated age verification requirements.

@davidclement To the best of my knowledge, it would also still be legal for youth to purchase caffeine supplements or caffeinated foods (e.g., chocolates) from a health food store or pharmacy

[Michael Geist @mgeist]

Start here: you cannot keep under-16s off a platform without verifying everyone's age on it. Identifying who falls below the line means identifying who sits above it. A rule intended for a minority of users becomes an age-verification mandate for the entire population.

@IanRunkle Stupid and educational so always great!

[Jordan York @JordanCYork]

@KatlynHarrison @cbcwatcher Yep… why is that what everyone is so focused on rather than our economy being stagnant?

[Jordan York @JordanCYork]

@Gusinalberta @LukaszukAB That’s a pretty extreme assumption from a post that simply acknowledging the efficiency of combining 2 cards into one.

[Jordan York @JordanCYork]

@MgtmMoisan @LukaszukAB One isn’t a card. It’s flimsy paper. Combining the two provincially issued cards into one creates efficiencies and ensures getting your wallet wet won’t wash out your health #

Could I handle it? Sure. Should we all have to handle it when there’s a better way? Certainly not.

@Daggerman6969 @nationalpost There’s a long form version and a short form version. The long form one goes to about 25% of people, I believe. I was also one of the “lucky” ones.

@RonaAmbrose @ABDanielleSmith I couldn’t believe AB was using paper health cards when I first moved here in 2017. I’m happy to see this change.

[Jordan York @JordanCYork]

@DimitrisSoudas Shadow cabinet management issues perhaps? Regardless, I hope we see more of him. He seems to know his stuff and communicates effectively.

[Jordan York @JordanCYork]

@kinsellawarren For that long is guaranteed. But I think there’s potential to milk it for years afterwards, as well.

[Jordan York @JordanCYork]

@kinsellawarren I much prefer the idea of a 6 month cooling off period where they have to sit as an independent.

[Jordan York @JordanCYork]

@kinsellawarren The conservative = MAGA branding is getting tiresome and lazy. I wonder how long the Trump boogeyman card can be played to sway public opinion.

[Jordan York @JordanCYork]

@JJ_McCullough Interesting timing too given the news of caucus issues for the liberal party.

[Jordan York @JordanCYork]

@cselley This is blowing my mind to see people in such high academic positions blatantly admit they don’t read the papers they cite. I didn’t have a long career in academia and I only have one journal publication to my name - but I read everything I cited as a grad student.

[Jordan York @JordanCYork]

@Pagmenzies The “new” liberal government playbook: To make it seem like you’ve made progress, you renounce previous announcements. To make it seem like you’re addressing problems, you announce you’re making the commitment to dressing those problems.
