🇨🇦 Poilievre flirts with nanny-state censorship while Carney regime pushes social media ban for minors

The so-called Conservative opposition is exploring whether to back Prime Minister Mark Carney's crusade to ban social media for kids. Instead of defending parental rights and free expression, Poilievre's 140-member caucus is polling itself on whether government should decide what children can access online. Former O'Toole strategist Dan Robertson calls it good politics to appeal to religious and immigrant voters — translation: abandon principle for suburban optics.

This is how controlled opposition works. When the regime floats authoritarian overreach dressed as child safety, the job of a real opposition is to remind Canadians that parents exist and the state is not their co-parent. But Poilievre won't touch that because his handlers think sounding like a Liberal on this issue wins swing ridings. It doesn't. It just proves there's no substantive difference when power calls.
