Canada does not subscribe to the belief that platforms should be permitted to steal advertising dollars away from all local media organizations while at the same time sharing that stolen content to their users without driving traffic to the original publisher. This is law in Canada. Sovereign nations can't survive the culture war being waged by American owned platforms without laws like this.

That’s fine. But Australia took it a step further by saying that they must carry the content and must pay for this privilege. That’s what I’m disagreeing with.

If people want news, let them go search it out.
