  • Involuntary Addiction Treatment: What you need to know.
    Oct 5 2025

    Since 2016, more than 50,000 Canadians have died from toxic drug poisoning. That's roughly the population of Woodstock, Ontario or Penticton, BC. In May, Alberta passed the "Compassionate Care Act", a new law giving police, family members, and doctors the right to request mandatory addiction treatment for those deemed a danger to themselves or others. B.C. recently announced an expansion in its involuntary care program while other provinces are considering it. Supporters call it a last resort for those who can't help themselves. Critics warn it's a dangerous overreach with serious ethical risks.


    Our question: Is involuntary treatment for addiction ever justified? When - if ever - should it be mandatory?

  • Do social media bans for kids under 16 actually work?
    Sep 29 2025

    The opposition party in Nova Scotia tabled a bill proposing a social media ban for anyone under 16. But the governing Conservatives say what the Liberal bill proposes "is not possible at the provincial level" and that "it would require federal action"to implement.


    Critics warn bans like these don't work and that kids will just find workarounds or possibly be pushed toward even riskier platforms.


    Our question: Should children under 16 be banned from TikTok or other social media apps?
