Under the guise of âprotecting the kidsâ and âreducing harmâ, Carney has announced he will proceed with Bill C-34, the Safe Social Media Act, which will compel social media companies to require ID verification to use their platforms, ensuring the government knows whoâs who and what theyâre saying on social media.
âWe are fighting for Canada to lead the world in building the smart, safe digital tools of the next decade,â Carney told Liberal MPs.
This is happening in lockstep with other Western countries, including those across the EU, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and more.
And of course, it wonât stop at social media, nor will your name be the only thing thatâs recorded. Rather, all of your online activity will be linked to your name and held by the government for who knows how long and for who knows what reason â probably nothing good given the Liberalsâ track record of corruption.

SHOW ME YOUR ID: Carney doubles down on sweeping internet regulation bill
Prime Minister Carney says his government will push ahead this fall with sweeping social media regulations that would create a new federal Digital Safety Commission and impose new rules on online platforms.
This news came just before Carney attended Question Period ⌠for the first time in months!
In fact, based on prior reporting from Juno News, we count this as his 35th attendance at Question Period, which exists so that the opposition has a chance to hold the sitting government to account.
To put this horrid attendance record in perspective, Trudeau, for all his flaws, showed up 51 times in the same length of time as Carney has been PM, while Harper managed to attend 80 times.
Despite this, he didnât stay long and quickly fled to a three-day-long set of meetings in New York for the UNâs General Assembly. Keep reading.
Carney to attend first Question Period in months before flying to New York
Prime Minister Mark Carney will briefly return to Parliament on Monday before jetting off to New York for the United Nations General Assembly.
With his focus on the EU and the UN, itâs unsurprising Carney has fumbled trade talks with the US so completely.
In fact, heâs fumbled them so badly that heâs thrown the US into trade negotiations with Russiaâs closest ally, Belarus, over potash tariff threats.
As Canada is currently the worldâs number-one exporter of potash, and the US is our biggest buyer, this could mark a significant blow to the Canadian economy if not handled swiftly. Keep reading.
Trump turns to Russiaâs closest ally after Ford threatens to cut off potash
U.S. President Donald Trump is pursuing a âmassive dealâ to buy cheaper potash from Belarus â less than a month after Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe specifically warned that weaponizing Canadian potash could drive America to suppliers such as Belarus.
Meanwhile, in provincial politics, the BC Conservatives, which is currently being occupied by several members of the former BC Liberals, have elected Liberal MLA Lorne Doerkson as interim leader following Kerry-Lynne Findlayâs ousting.
After taking power, Doerkson was quick to invite many of those MLAs who were removed from the roster under Findlayâs leadership.
Specifically, John Rustad (the man who resurrected the BC Conservative Party), Trevor Halford, Scott McInnis, Claire RatttĂŠe, and Linda Hepner have all been invited back, with several having already accepted the invitation. Keep reading.
