Banning social media for kids - great idea from Olds. Costs little. Not really enforceable, if the Australian case study is any guide.
The kids are generally using this tech as messaging. To talk to their peers. Olds are often suspicious of teenagers talking to each other.
Don’t get me wrong…🧵
Would be even more powerful is we had lived up to them in the last 150 years.

How'd I find myself rocking at the 'Shoe with the Grievous Angels and @charlieangus104.bsky.social? Just lucky I guess. Elbows up!
Surely it is Parliament as a whole that is devalued, not just the QP show

Congratulations to @canadashistory.bsky.social 's and James Gillespie for Honorable Mention, Illustration.
Canadian leaders have always stayed too long. Because the choice to stay or go is left entirely to them. Compare Mulroney to, eg, Thatcher.
Was struck by this from @sphillipsab.bsky.social in her commentary on the federal government's moves on AI and online harms.

In light of everything going on with Alberta right now, may I recommend this slight volume. It’s very quick and readable, and essentially points out how referendums are just elite fuckery.

« Je n’ai eu que peu ou pas d’impact sur les décisions », avoue Steven Guilbeault dans une longue entrevue accordée à Radio-Canada.
I think a story like this would land harder if everyone — government, opposition, press gallery — hadn't devalued question period as a meaningful forum for accountability.

Ottawa, like the secessionists, aims to extract maximum resources. First Nations have enduring rights.
