    IMO the Federal Goverment went too soft. They should have made a broader law under the form of a tax, where all social medias companies are required to pay a tax to operate in Canada and properly fund journalism, no matter if they display Canadian news or not.

    Don’t wanna pay? Then no operation in Canada at all.

      Why does social media have to fund journalism… they pay taxes here.

        Not enough if you ask me.

        Their incentives is to drive clicks and ad views, while cannibalizing the content producers from their traffic.
