On today’s show, we talk with Anglophone East District Education Council member Kristin Cavoukian about Education Minister Bill Hogan’s announcement Wednesday of changes to Policy 713 which require teachers to seek out parental approval before using names requested by kids 15 and under. Plus we hear from the Friends of Canadian Broadcasting about their call for Canadians to boycott Facebook and Instagram today, in protest over Meta’s blocking of Canadian news links.
