This type of legislation is called age-gating and countries like the United States, France and Brazil are all exploring some form of it.&nbsp;Here in Canada, the federal government and a number of provinces are seriously considering age-gating legislation as well. In this episode, host <strong>Sabreena Delhon</strong> is joined by fellow team members at the Samara Centre,&nbsp;<strong>Beatrice Wayne</strong> (Director of Research and Policy) and <strong>Alex MacIsaac</strong> (Research Manager) to discuss what age-gating actually looks like in practice. Is age-gating enough? Can we do better?</p><p><br></p><p>Group Chat is produced by the Samara Centre for Democracy, Canada’s leading non-partisan charity dedicated to strengthening and protecting our democracy.
