New UK screen time rules just dropped — and they’re stricter than most parents expected.

From 27 March 2026, England says: zero solo screens for under-2s (except quick video calls with family), and max one hour a day for 2–5 year olds — no screens at meals or the hour before bed. Co-view everything, stick to slow-paced content, and ditch fast social-media clips and AI toys completely.

The science is sobering: toddlers’ brains process info up to 10 times slower than adults. Fast-paced screens push them into fight-or-flight mode — racing heart, surging energy — while they’re sitting still. Researchers at the University of East London say this mismatch can wire kids for more tantrums and emotional struggles later. Using screens to calm meltdowns? It often backfires long-term.

As a parent, it’s brutal — we all know that explosion the second you take the tablet away.

But this feels like evidence finally catching up with what our gut has been telling us.

How are you handling screens with little ones — strict limits, co-viewing, or mostly winging it?

@PierrePoilievre Canadians are tired of hearing your unprofessional, aggressive, and negative form of politics. Everything and everyone is not broken all of the time. I am grateful we have someone in charge who has a positive vision for our country.

[Mark Carney @MarkJCarney]

During the Global Financial Crisis, when there was a real risk of panic, I developed a practice called ‘forward guidance.’

The situation we find ourselves in today demands the same. Watch the full video on YouTube: https://t.co/bK1qYCRgqV

"Canadian visits to the US are down 35%—dealing a massive, sustained economic blow to the US economy that shows no sign of reversing in 2026"

“In my 37 years in the travel industry, I have never seen anything like what the Canadians have pulled off"

This, from @ezraklein, is so well said:

[David Coletto 🇨🇦 @DavidColetto]

Just watched @MarkJCarney's speech to the Liberal convention yesterday.

A few thoughts:

1. Sovereignty is the organizing principle. Everything else flows from it. Trade diversification, defense spending, Buy Canadian, internal trade - these aren't separate files. They're facets of a single argument that Canada must stop being dependent on anyone, starting with the United States.

Tomorrow is going to be HISTORIC!

@PierrePoilievre Nostalgia is not a strategy. Almost no Canadian trusts you to deal with trade policy. Love what you're doing in the polls though keep it up

[Sameer Mal @sameermal06]

@PierrePoilievre Perhaps this trade deal could have been conducted over Zoom! Great idea. Please resign.

[Sameer Mal @sameermal06]

@PierrePoilievre Call for an election PP. I double dare you.

[Sameer Mal @sameermal06]

@PierrePoilievre No one in this country trusts you have the knowledge or skills to deal with the situation better than Mr Carney. Please sit this out.

[Ron Butler @ronmortgageguy]

Smartest guy in the room who could not care less for any Parliamentary Tradition

For this PM paying members to cross the.floor is just a deal, just a transaction

Ask yourself this: if you voted for a candidate who won the seat would you think it's okay that they are for sale?

[Sameer Mal @sameermal06]

@PierrePoilievre A political party at one moment is defined by the vision and character of its leader. Mr. Carney is offering a transformative and hopeful vision for our future. I suggest that you remain humble and reflect on why MPs in your caucus are willing to join the opposing movement.

[Sameer Mal @sameermal06]

@PierrePoilievre I have no faith in your leadership abilities

[Sameer Mal @sameermal06]

@PierrePoilievre You are unelectable as PM. I hope your party replaces you with an astute, thoughtful leader. Canada needs two respected political parties.

[Sameer Mal @sameermal06]

@MarkJCarney Bravo PM Carney 👏🏽. Incredible speech

[Sameer Mal @sameermal06]

@RobynUrback You may want to share your reservations with Mr Pollievere and the CPC. This is terrible news for the Canadian economy and our trade position with America.

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

304 BILLION BARRELS.

That’s the real reason Venezuela matters.

Sky News just laid it out plainly: Trump’s Venezuela obsession was never really about drugs. It’s about oil, specifically heavy crude.

The U.S. now produces tons of light shale oil, but our Gulf Coast refineries were built for heavy, gloopy crude. They need it to function. And guess who has the largest proven reserves of heavy oil on Earth?

Venezuela.

Canada has some. Russia has some. But Venezuela has the most, 304 billion barrels sitting underground. That’s why tankers, sanctions, regime change talk, and now bombs.

It was never about fentanyl.
It was never about democracy.

It’s about feeding refineries, controlling supply, and locking down oil before rivals do.

[Sameer Mal @sameermal06]

@PierrePoilievre aside from the lawlessness of this intervention – please recognize that this will have tremendously negative consequences to the Canadian, and specifically the Alberta, economy. Be a responsible leader.
