A recent survey shows that more than half of Canadians are in favour of banning Chinese short-form video sharing app TikTok. Due to national security concerns, a bill with similar intentions just passed the U.S. House of Representatives.

Just over half of Canadians (51 percent) would support a potential ban on TikTok in Canada, while 28 percent would oppose it, the Leger survey found.
