Health Canada requires when it comes to caffeinated drinks; the recall notification about the G Fuel drinks notes that while they contain 300 mg of caffeine, there's no cautionary statement on the cans about how much is safe to drink.

Canada's note that the maximum amount of caffeine a healthy adult can handle over a day from all sources is 400 mg (including energy drinks, coffee, tea, and chocolate products). For people who are pregnant (or are considering it) the maximum is 300 mg; the same for people who are breastfeeding.

For kids, the maximum should be based on a child's weight, according to Health Canada, with 2.5 mg per kilogram the maximum. That's for 100 lbs child that would be just over 110 mg of caffeine per day.
