Bill C-34 creates a social media ban for Canadians under 16 at the expense of all Canadians' privacy.
Sections 26, 27(1), and 27(2) of Bill C-34 require that affected social media platforms “implement age-verification and age-estimation measures designed to prevent a person under the age of 16 from being able to have an account with, or be otherwise registered with,” those social media platforms.
Bill C-34 requires that such measures must provide for the “protection” and eventual “destruction” of “personal information that is collected for age-verification or age-estimation purposes.”
It is not yet clear how this will be accomplished. What is clear is that these measures must be “effective.” Users commonly verify their age by submitting government-issued identification documents, such as driver’s licenses or passports. And, the technology exists for social media platforms to estimate the ages of users through biometric data, e.g., facial geometry, eye shape, skin elasticity, hairline, etcetera.
This age-verification and age-estimation monitoring will not be limited to Canadians under age 16. For social media platforms to determine access eligibility for any user, platforms will have to evaluate the access eligibility of every user.
The goal of Bill C-34 is not merely to remove Canadians under age 16 from affected social media platforms but to keep them off those platforms. To achieve this goal, social media platforms may be compelled to adopt ongoing age-verification/estimation measures to ensure continued compliance.
However affected social media platforms satisfy these requirements, Bill C-34 fundamentally reimagines how all Canadians access social media.
This Bill deputizes affected social media platforms into forcing Canadians to surrender more data as a precondition of participation in the digital public square. This, in turn, raises serious concerns about Canadians' privacy rights and may engage constitutional protections against unreasonable search and seizure - guaranteed by section 8 of the Charter.

Mike says it bluntly in Episode 197 (Alcoholism):
“Drinking is not the problem… the problem is the things that cause you to do it.”
Listen to Episode 197 (Alcoholism) if you’re ready to stop negotiating with the thing that’s quietly draining the life out of you:
BOMBSHELL TESTIMONY
Former senior health officials in BC left their government positions and launched an opioid vending machine company and a company to manufacture injectable heroin.
A researcher who advised the BC government on addiction for 20+ years revealed at health committee that both officials used their government positions to push safe supply and decriminalization before building companies around those same policies.
Mark Tyndall launched MySafe Society while still serving as a senior government official.
The company installed vending machines that dispensed opioids to drug users.
The federal government gave them over $3.5 million in taxpayer dollars to do it.
Perry Kendall founded Fair Price Pharma while serving as executive director of the government-funded BC Centre on Substance Use.
The company's goal was to produce a domestic supply of injectable heroin.
When I started asking questions, the Liberals tried to shut me down.
🚨 INSANE BREAKING NEWS
Senior BC officials literally created the drug crisis
then started companies to PROFIT from it
with YOUR tax dollars
and when an MP started asking questions, the Liberals tried to shut him down
Canada is a scam 😂
I honestly thought I was hallucinating when I heard the Housing Minister say in QP "Well, it's no surprise Canadians are challenged with buying homes right now when there is a war in the Middle East."
I was not. This was a thing that was said.
It's funny watching Canadian legacy media wake from their stupor and wonder what happened "out of nowhere." Here's a quick list to help them gain a better understanding:
2016-Ongoing: Phoenix Pay System
New federal payroll system. Costs quadrupled mysteriously. More costs to fix the quadrupled costs. Actual cost unknown because spending wasn't tracked.
2018: Chrysler Bailout
Liberals wrote off a $2.6 billion loan to Chrysler for unknown reasons. No recovery of funds.
2020: WE Charity Contract
$912 million student grant program contract awarded to WE Charity. Contract cancelled when Trudeau's family were found to be receiving payouts from WE. $30 million in initial costs unrecovered.
2020-2021: COVID-19 Relief Overpayments and Suspicious Benefits
$27.4 billion in suspicious payments through programs like CERB and CEBA. $4.6 billion in overpayments, $1.6 billion to ineligible individuals, $6.1 million to prisoners, and $1.2 million to deceased people. $3.5 billion to ineligible CEBA recipients. Insider payments (corruption) and migrant housing accounted for another $1 billion.
2020-2021: Liberal Ventilators
$237 million on 10,000 ventilators ($23,700 per ventilator) purchased from Frank Baylis, a Liberal MP.
2020-2021: Unaccounted Pandemic Spending
$600 billion in unaccounted pandemic spending in 2020-21.
2021-2023: ArriveCAN App
$59.5 million paid to Liberal insiders GC Strategies on an app hobbyists recreated over a weekend. Estimated real world development cost: $50,000. GC Strategies received $65 million across 106 contracts from 2015-2024 and produced nothing.
2015-2023: McKinsey & Company Contracts
$209 million awarded to the Liberal insider corporation (Liberal ambassador to China, Dominic Barton was also managing director of McKinsey). Nothing of value was ever produced from this "partnership."
2015-2023: Infrastructure Projects Under Catherine McKenna
$187 billion spent on 20,000 projects. Money was untracked and disappeared. No projects completed.
2018-2024: Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion
$29 billion disappeared under Liberal management.
2021-2024: Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC)
$400 million misused through conflicts of interest (186 instances), with funds going to Liberal insiders' companies. Conservatives called it the "Green Slush Fund."
2023-2024: Firearms Buyback Program
$67 million in costs. No guns recovered.
2023-2024: Electric Vehicle (EV) Battery Plants
$270 million lost on one plant as part of a $30 billion commitment.
2024: Cricket Protein Plant
$42 million lost on one facility.
$61.9 billion deficit, $21.9 billion higher than projected.
Interest costs $53.7 billion.
$300 million on passport redesign.
Plus billions funneled into Canada's perpetually failing state-funded media.
And this is just what's documented. Who knows how much money was laundered and embezzled into offshore accounts over the last 11 years.
During his time as Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau's personal net worth grew from $7 million to upwards for $400 million on a $400,000 per year salary.
Canada might be poorer than Alabama but Mark Carney, Justin Trudeau and the Liberal Party definitely aren't.
WOW: Video from a Canadian emergency room shows wait time up to 15 HOURS to see a doctor.
Canadians face income tax rates of up to 54%, to fund this???
HEARTBREAKING 🇨🇦 Healthcare system in Canada just KILLED another innocent Canadian. After being released, and then another 11 hour WAIT in the ER, Stacey Ross went into Cardiac arrest and died. So sad
Is a 72-hour wait for a cardiac emergency now "standard" in Canada? My father died of cardiac tamponade after waiting 72 hours with no telemetry and died in an empty ward.
Now the @TorontoStar told me their expert says this wait is "typical."
Since when is preventable death the standard?
The Bank of Canada is no longer talking about a recession.
They’re talking about a permanent restructuring of the country.
Painful. Decades long. No guarantee it works.
Households pay more today for benefits they likely won’t live to see.
That’s not stabilization. That’s a reset.
📎 Interesting to see this picked up. The message matters. 🙏
Liberal and Bloc members on the Justice Committee just voted down my amendment requiring non-Canadian citizens charged with a crime to surrender their passports before being released on bail.
Ridiculous.
In a report released yesterday, the Bank of Canada quietly confirmed what many of us have been saying all along.
Ottawa’s COUNTER-TARIFFS on imported FOODS from the U.S. contributed to higher food inflation in 2025.
Higher import costs → higher grocery prices.
Unfortunately, many food economists dismissed this link.
🚨This should concern every Canadian: the government is now looking at pension funds to help finance affordable housing.
Your retirement savings shouldn’t become a backup funding source for policy gaps.
Pensions exist to secure retirees .. not to plug budget holes.

BREAKING
The Liberals approved 960 doctors from Saudi Arabia to train in Canadian hospitals.
These doctors will never work in Canada after their training.
Meanwhile, hundreds of Canadians who studied medicine abroad are told they can’t come home because there’s “no training capacity.”
