Hour 2 of Ottawa Now for Wed. October 21st, 2026

 

A coalition of Canada's top child health and safety organizations is demanding immediate government action on digital safety. On Monday, the group launched a national campaign called Six Clicks, urging Parliament to quickly pass Bill C-34. Organizers say the Safe Social Media Act is desperately needed to force tech companies to put children's mental and physical safety ahead of corporate profit. Chris Holski checks in with Dr. Alykhan Abdulla – a family doctor working in Manotick – for The Check-Up. Later in Hour 2, we have a chat about road safety with CFRA’s Andrew Pinsent. Plus, one of the most celebrated video game studios in Canadian history has been handed the ‘Game Over’ cut-scene.
