🇨🇦 Manitoba NDP Premier Wab Kinew wants to ban kids from social media and AI chatbots — but won't say what age, how it'll work, or when
Kinew railed against rich tech bros at an NDP fundraiser, announced a first-in-Canada ban, then refused to speak to reporters. No details on enforcement, no timeline, no minimum age threshold. Just vibes and vote-bait. Australia's version already shows kids migrating to unregulated platforms — Manitoba claims it'll cast a wider net, but offers zero specifics on how a provincial government plans to enforce digital age gates against global tech giants.
This is regulatory theater dressed up as child protection. If Kinew actually cared about youth mental health, he'd address screen time in schools, parental responsibility, and the collapse of community structures his own party enables. Instead, he's chasing headlines while begging Ottawa to do the heavy lifting. Classic NDP: announce the solution, skip the execution, blame someone else when it fails.
