Scott opens the show by breaking down the federal government's plan to ban social media use for kids under 16 in Canada.

With a new Liberal majority, Scott also examines what increased internet regulation could look like and what it means for Canadians going forward. Plus, reaction to fiery moments in Canadian politics, including a heated rant from Doug Ford at Queen's Park and Prime Minister Carney's claim that Canadians are better off under his leadership.
