Carl Burke’s teenage son Harry died by suicide shortly after he fell victim to sexual extortion online. But proposed legislation aimed at addressing dangers on social media — the Online Harms Act — may now not become law because parliament has been prorogued until March. Burke tells Matt Galloway that playing politics shouldn’t get in the way of protecting children. For Linda Debassige, grand council chief of the Anishinabek Nation, it’s an embarrassment for Canada that a bill to ensure clean drinking water for First Nations may also not pass.
