Bridge Delay, Social Media Act, and Economic Update

The Gordie Howe Bridge’s opening got delayed again as Canada agreed to postpone the ribbon-cutting, leaving the new date uncertain — a fitting twist amid strained U.S.-Canada trade vibes. Meanwhile, the government unveiled its revised “Safe Social Media Act,” shifting focus to social media platforms and AI chatbots, requiring safety measures for kids under 16 — though tech giants are still reviewing and MPs have just a week before their summer break, likely pushing passage to fall. Economically, the Bank of Canada governor insists the economy isn’t in recession despite weakness, while the PM heads abroad to discuss digital safety for minors — a topic where government unity may prove elusive. As Parliament winds down, the government is racing to pass key bills before the summer break, including economic updates, Senate bail reform amendments, and other less contentious measures — classic end-of-session hustle.
