I am quite sure this does not mean that Canadians consume less digital content. Just that is is not news (from Canadian news outlets).

For a sovereign country this is catastrophic.

It probably means that Canadians consume even more reddit style media, YouTube shorts or outright propaganda from foreign nations.

Canadians can watch most major news broadcasts on YouTube. Also we have our own state sponsored media and propaganda, is foreign propaganda guaranteed to be worse?
