An image of a woman holding a cell phone in front of the TikTok logo displayed on a computer screen, on April 29, 2024, in Edmonton, Canada.The government of Canada ordered TikTok Technology Canada to dissolve on Wednesday, citing national security concerns. TikTok Technology Canada is the business arm of the Chinese company ByteDance in the country. In a weird move, Ottawa did not order a ban on TikTok itself, and citizens will still be allowed to use the app.

Champagne said you’d just have to trust him. “I’m not at liberty to go into much detail, but I know Canadians would understand when you’re saying the government of Canada is taking measures to protect national security, that’s serious,” he said.
