Media apps have responded to Keir Starmers social media ban:
YouTube:
“YouTube is a vital resource for young people, educators and parents. Blanket bans push kids out of such curated, supervised, beneficial experiences and towards anonymous, less safe services.”
Meta: (Instagram, Facebook)
“As we’ve seen in Australia, bans risk isolating teens from online communities and information, and driving them to unregulated alternatives that lack built-in protections and parental controls.”
Snapchat:
“Because the majority of time spent on Snapchat is in private messaging between friends and family, an outright ban that disconnects teens from those relationships doesn’t make them safer – it may simply push them to less safe platforms.”
Elon Musk: (X)
“This censorship law is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. The real goal is to enable the UK government to track everyone.”
He also said today that the UK is a police state.
The last paragraph flags the real pattern. "Protecting children" is the most effective pretext for building regulatory infrastructure—age gates, content takedowns, new commissions with broad "harm" definitions. Authoritarians perfected it; democracies are testing versions now. Canada's bill is fresh, but history shows these powers rarely shrink. Narrow CSAM rules differ sharply from open-ended systems. Scope and enforcement will decide if it stays limited.
I hope the officer is ok. Hit by a 12 year old driving a stolen car at 1 am? WTF?? Good thing he won't soon be able to access social media though. 🤦♀️

I've been asked numerous times what governments can do to increase grocery competition in Canada.
For years, I've been advocating three simple measures:
1⃣Stop corporate welfare and government spending that distorts markets.
2⃣End property controls and restrictive covenants imposed by grocers that prevent competitors from entering communities.
3⃣Eliminate interprovincial trade barriers—for real, not just in speeches.
If governments are serious about improving food affordability and consumer choice, these are the reforms that would make a meaningful difference.
Have you noticed that Mark Carney changes his message depending on his audience and location.
Rupture.
Deeper integration.
New World Order.
Canada Strong will MAGA.
We are European and will work with you.
I had a class in law school with a prof who would arrange brief student arguments on a point. He'd pick controversial topics, and go "Okay, you argue for, you argue against."
After the five minute argument, "Okay, switch."
All of these liberals criticizing Elon for not “solving world hunger” are clearly not paying attention.
It isn’t a money problem. Europe, the USA and the UN have wasted $5 trillion in humanitarian aid on Africa in the past 50 years and only made the problem worse.
Quite a gross way to treat a witness - one of CFIB’s team @vgasparro. You entirely missed her point. The problem is not just the communications from government - it is the nonsensical criteria themselves.
CFIB is doing its job. You seem keen to shoot the messenger.
MP Vince Gasparro (Liberal- Eglinton—Lawrence) jabs/wags a finger at a female witness who questioned the Buy Canada policy because her SME members often aren’t eligible. #cdnpoli#steel. I happened to be sitting behind Michelle Auger of CFIB at the time. #canada
Trudeau decided to go to the U.S. World Cup opener game instead of Canada’s.
Here he is cheering with Katy Perry when the U.S. scored their first goal.
Just a reminder I added his very own speech to Canadians regarding the U.S. over top of this video to highlight what an absolute hypocrite this man is.
15 years ago, yogurt maker Chobani tried to enter Canada and build a plant in Kingston, Ontario, but was blocked by regulatory and supply management barriers.
Instead of fighting it long-term, they expanded elsewhere, in the United States.
Today:
➡️They buy about 9% of all the milk produced in New York State.
➡️They process 1.6 billion pounds of milk per year in New York.
➡️They built the world’s largest yogurt plant in Idaho.
➡️They’re now building an even bigger one in Rome, New York (over 2 million square feet, 1,000+ jobs).
That is the true cost of supply management.
Unbelievable.
Was the Globe and Mail hoping we wouldn’t notice they changed their headline?
I think that’s an admission to just how bad the first one was. The one highlighted in green is the newly revised headline.
Tim Hortons’ President went on the @FoodProfessor Podcast.
Ballsy move.
Canadians deserve answers:
“Ask why Canadians are increasingly angry every time they walk into a Tim Hortons and wonder what the hell happened to the place.”
Who is working in Canadian Tim Hortons stores?
Who is not being hired?
Who is being housed, and by whom?
Who is monitoring the franchisees to prevent illegal labour practices?
And what, exactly, is still Canadian about this supposedly Canadian coffee shop?

What a tragic and sad week for policing in Ontario. Two fallen heroes, one north and one south, both tremendous losses to their families, friends, colleagues, services and communities. I started with the OPP in Kapuskasing and am very familiar with the Hearst Detachment area where OPP Constable Bali gave his life. I also spent many years with the OPP Tactics and Rescue Unit; knew many TPS ETF members in those days and still keep in touch with some. I know how close those officers are as they work together in such high-risk operations. Losing Constable Pinizzotto would be like losing a limb for each one of those team members. These last few days hit me hard despite how far removed I am. I can only imagine the police community is feeling. Although I’ve been retired from active policing for many years, my heart remains with the men and women that are out there 24/7 to keep us safe. Now it breaks for them. Thinking of them all and praying for their safety.
🇨🇦 Canada’s Minister of Artificial Intelligence.
Can’t figure out how to use an app.
To vote.
In 2026.
This is the man responsible for Canada’s AI strategy. 🇨🇦💀 #CdnPoli#AI#Carney
Canada Dental Care Plan will go billions over budget for years to come, says @GovCanHealth. Patient fees will cost taxpayers $18 billion over 5 years, a third more than cabinet’s original estimate of $13 billion.
