Read MoreA study in China found that adolescents with more severe addiction to short-form videos tend to have worse sleep quality and higher levels of social anxiety. The paper was published in BMC Psychology.
Short-form videos are brief, engaging videos that typically last between 15 seconds and a few minutes. They are designed to capture attention quickly, often featuring fast-paced edits, catchy music, or trending topics.

Read MoreThe government of Ontario recently announced its revamp of funding for licensed centres covered by the Canada-Wide Early Learning and Child Care program (CWELCC)—also known as the $10-a-day system. In an interview with CP24 on Aug. 15, former Education Minister Todd Smith said the new funding scheme would provide child-care operators with certainty and stability, that it was simple and easy to administer, and that it would set centres up to grow more spaces.
What the then-minister didn’t mention was that the scheme cuts provincial funding to child-care centres that are not part of the CWELCC. The cut will impact between 8 percent and 10 percent of all of the licensed centres in Ontario. That’s some 500 centres that are now at high risk of closure. Most are woman-owned. Some had applied to be part of the CWELCC but were rejected—typically because they were either too new or were run as “for-profits,” i.e., small businesses.
The funding cut means that low- and middle-income families who qualify for provincial fee subsidies will no longer be able to access these centres, although those currently enrolled may be grandfathered for a period of time. Additionally, the staff at these centres will no longer be covered under provincial programs that contribute significantly to their wages. This will force many of the impacted centres to close their doors or dramatically raise their fees.

Read MoreThe Indigenous policy revolution in Canada is near the take-off point. The rather unpoetic Agreement on Long-Term Reform on the First Nations Child and Family Services Program has the potential to transform governance as it currently operates.
This settlement—worth $47.8-billion over 10 years—is the first major achievement of National Chief Cindy Woodhouse Nepinak’s term as head of the Assembly of First Nations (AFN). It is also potentially one of the most consequential developments in Canadian public policy in 50 years.
