According to immigration experts, a legal change surrounding who gets to apply for Canadian citizenship has led to a spike in American applicants. In December, the Carney government passed Bill C-3, also known as 'An Act to Amend the Citizenship Act'. It retroactively makes people born outside of Canada – to Canadian parents – eligible to apply for proof of citizenship. Before this, only first-generation Canadians were allowed to apply. And now, an Ottawa based immigration consultant says the demand for proof of Canadian citizenship has exploded since the bill was passed. Cassandra Fultz joins Kristy Cameron on today's Ottawa Now.

After a lengthy battle, Meta and YouTube must pay millions of dollars in damages to a 20-year-old woman. It follows a California jury's conclusion that the social media giants designed their platforms to hook younger users without concern for their well being. And now, Wednesday's verdict in a first-of-its-kind lawsuit could influence the outcome of thousands of others that are similar in nature - accusing social media companies of deliberately causing harm. Florian Martin-Bariteau, an Associate Professor of Law at UOttawa, unpacks the legal precedents on today's Ottawa Now.
