Canada’s Bill C-18 and Our Search and News Products

As a canadian, this is a disaster of legislation, and I don't celebrate attempts at anything that are so bad for the internet. The precedent this sort of legislation sets will break the internet and also make companies leave canada in fear of having legislation targeted at them.

And for no gain at all. No Canadian heritage will be saved, and this doesn't remove american influences because google and meta were going to be charged for linking to canadian news, not american news. Still 100% ok to link to american news. This legislation does the opposite of what you're claiming.

Also Canadian, and I agree. But I also think their recently passed legislation concerning online streaming services was a bad move.

Everyone is allowed to have bad opinions, but if you can't even provide logical reasoning for them, then they don't matter at all because its not persuasive. Your support for this link tax law was poor reasoning and its likely your support canadian content laws are similarly flawed.
