Social media and kids, free transit, Roaring Lion and more
Description
Whether it's from governments, schools or from mom and dad, there's increasing pressure on big tech companies to do more to protect kids from the dangers that lurk online. And this year some major players announced some major changes.
And: Canadians are not using public transit as much as they did before the pandemic. But in one Ontario town, ridership has doubled. And it's because riding the bus doesn't cost anything.
Also: You may remember the mysterious disappearance of that famous photo of Winston Churchill. The one snatched from the wall of an Ottawa hotel, and replaced with a fake. A long international investigation found it years later, in Italy. The portrait of the legendary British prime minister was recently returned to its rightful place.
Plus: scurvy is making a comeback, involuntary addiction treatment, and the Band Aid reboot controversy.
