Federal New Democrats won't say how they intend to vote on a bill that aims to keep minors from accessing sexually explicit material online, while the Conservatives say they're prepared to work on amending the controversial legislation.

Meanwhile the LPC oppose the bill while the CPC would work to amend it.

If anyone’s claiming that any of these things is equivalent to another it isn’t me, but marketing campaigns aimed at children (for tobacco and in general) are also something we’d be better off without.

Isn’t that already illegal? As far as I remember, ad breaks during my morning cartoons were either for other shows on the network or Swiffer and laundry detergent.

It is illegal, but kids get most content online now. So, although many countries have laws on the books against ads targeting children, it doesn’t mean that they don’t.

Juul got in trouble for doing this, using ads that were definitely not specifically targeting tweens/teens on websites for Seventeen magazine, cartoon network, and Nick jr.
