Hi all,

I wanted to share an important update: 119 people have already signed our petition calling on the Government of Canada to regulate social media algorithms to better protect children and teens. Thank you so much for your support.

Did you know…In Canada, the share of youth who rate their mental health as fair or poor has more than doubled in just four years — from 12% in 2019 to 26% in 2023 (Statistics Canada). At the same time, children are spending more hours than ever on platforms designed to maximize engagement, not well-being.

This petition isn’t about banning social media,  it’s about holding companies accountable for algorithms that push harmful content, encourage excessive use, and prioritize profit over kids’ mental health. As parents, we know the impact this can have on sleep, self-esteem, focus, and emotional health.

We need stronger protections now.

Would you please help by sharing this petition with ten other parents caregivers, or anyone who cares about our youth? Parent Facebook groups, school chats, SMS, email, WhatsApp, and X are all great ways to spread the word.

The more of us who speak up, the harder we will be to ignore!

Thank you for standing up for our kids.

— every signature counts. 🧡
