Omg I’ve heard about this but I didn’t know it passed… this is the result of having people in the government positions not having basic understanding of how the internet works. Good job Canada on killing your own media (just for context I live here too)

the history of the bill started with many connected cdn legacy media businesses lobbying the government. it was cdn media that pushed this tariff the idea being that money collected gets pooled and split out to many publishers (based on x conditions). not sticking up for gov but this was driven by cdn media groups
