VKS: Canada orders wind up of TikTok's Canadian business, app access to continue

Hundreds of Barrhaven residents gathered on Tuesday night to protest a City of Ottawa proposal, which would install tent-like structures to shelter as much as 300 asylum seekers. Each tent would have a capacity of 150, filled with people who are either fleeing war or persecution. And while there is no final decision on the tent’s location, it is causing a fair bit of controversy within the suburban community. Barrhaven East councillor Wilson Lo joins Kristy Cameron in Hour 2. Speaking of encampments, Gatineau Police have torn down a setup near the Robert Guertin Arena, with eviction notices in hand. CTV’s Katie Griffin delivers the details. Plus, while a skyrocketing social media app is allowed to continue its general operations in Canada, the feds have told TikTok to pull the plug in several other departments.

Hour 2 of Ottawa Now for Thurs. November 7th, 2024

The practice of parenting in a digital world is getting tougher by the day. Nowadays, kids are surfing the web more often. Sometimes, they are on social media. And while all of that is going on, big companies are collecting their data, even if they don’t know it. How can we responsibly look after today’s youth, in-person and with technological assistance, without giving off the vibes of a helicopter figure? In Hour 1, Kristy Cameron chats with Devorah Heitner, the author of a new book called 'Growing Up In Public'. Later in the program, we also hear from Julie Romanowski, who is an early childhood consultant based in British Columbia. Meantime, when it comes to Ontario’s healthcare system, getting the advice you need is growing more and more complex as well. And if you are an uninsured patient, it’s an even taller task in 2024, according to a new report. We dig deeper with Mauriene Tolentino, who is the report’s lead author.
