Bill C-34 As We Now It Now with Dr. Bonnie Stewart
Hello and welcome to another special edition of CFRC’s Campus Beat where we reach off Queen’s University campus in Kingston, Ontario and all the way down the 401 corridor to chat with Dr. Bonnie Stewart at the University of Windsor about early understandings of Bill C-34, the Safe Social Media Act and what may lie ahead.
Dr. Stewart is a longtime educator and digital researcher whose work in participatory learning has spanned all eras of the web. As an Associate Professor of Online Pedagogy and Workplace Learning in the University of Windsor’s Faculty of Education, Bonnie explores the implications of digital information ecosystems for institutions and society. As an early researcher of Massive Open Online Courses and digital disruptions in higher education, Bonnie has been thinking about digital systems and their impacts on education over decades of change.
Currentely, she is investigating what it means to know, to learn, and to belong in an era increasingly marked by digital automation and weaponization and has made ink recently in the Windsor Star about Bill C34 noting alongside her peers that teaching digital literacy and having conversations with youth is more important than banning social media access in Canada for youth 16 years of age or under.
Legislation is new and still in process, but we’re delighted to welcome Dr. Stewart to CFRC’s airwaves and podcast platform to chat about the new legislation early on. Thank you for joining us.

2026 Tricolour Awards-In Conversation with This Year’s Winners!
Hello and welcome to another special episode of Campus Beat. In this edition, we are chatting with Queen’s University Rector Niki Boytchuk-Hale and each of the 2026 Agnes Benedickson Tricolour Award winners. The Tricolour Award and induction into the Tricolour Society is the highest tribute that can be paid to a Queen’s University student for distinguished service, leadership, character, and community impact during their time at Queen’s.
On February 19th, Rector Boytchuk-Hale announced this year’s Tricolour award recipients recognizing their outstanding contributions and enduring impact on the Queen’s University Community. Today, we’re chatting first with the Rector about the awards and then sitting down with each inductee into the Tricolour society, Emils Matiss, Bisola Olaseni, Oluwamisimi Oluwole and Daniel Reddy.
This year’s inductees will be honored on March 27th at the University Club. Learn more and keep up with the latest by following @queensurector on instagram.
We hope you enjoy our conversations with each of these outstanding individuals who joined us on Campus Beat and CFRC Radio, proudly serving Queen’s University and Kingston since 1922. Thank you for joining us!
Hello and welcome to another special edition of Campus Beat. It’s Elections and Referenda time at Queen’s University with all manner of student candidates, student clubs, Queen’s University services and a few community organizations currently campaigning for office or for student fees across the AMS and SGPS memberships. In this episode, the CFRC team got together to read the campaign materials provided by various groups seeking student fees through the SGPS referendum. Unfortunately, we did not hear back from everyone given the short timeline of release of information from the SGPS about approved groups and were only able to book one interview among the nine organizations on the ballot. CFRC team members are reading the information provided to us about each group’s campaign in lieu of interviews to provide an opportunity for their message to be heard and they will be read verbatim, sometimes in first person. It is CFRC’s pleasure and privilege to support candidates and groups campaigning and we thank you for tuning in. SGPS members are reminded that voting for candidates and student fees takes place on January 29th and 30th. Watch your Queen’s Emails for ballots and visit sgps.ca for more information about candidates, groups and the elections process. And now without further ado, we’ll dive in to our interview with Ban Righ Centre about their SGPS student fee campaign followed by the CFRC team reads of campaign profiles for all groups on the ballot. Thank you for joining us.
