The Canadian Government is Bailing Out the CBC Again

The Canadian government, in releasing their budget for the year, has announced that it is bailing out the CBC.

With Meta in the process of blocking news in Australia, some have argued that discrimination clauses in Bill C-18 will save everyone. They won’t.

Bell was dragged before committee after it laid off 6,000 employees. The hearing didn’t go well for Bell.

It seems everyone is pissed off at Bell over their decision to cut jobs after getting their bailouts, Bill C-11, and Bill C-18.

Some supporters of the Online News Act have called for legal action against Meta while others argue that publishers are doing just fine and dandy.

Meta has made the next step in distancing itself from news. This by ending the Facebook news tab in both the US and Australia.

The consultations being held at the CRTC are ongoing. It seems that Canadians are pushing back against the Online News Act.

It seems as though Bell Media has run out of F___s to give when it comes to optics as they dish more money out to shareholders.

Freezenet has responded to the CRTCs call for interventions in the hearing regarding the Online News Act.

The Online News Act hearings at the CRTC is now open. The deadline for submissions is April 12.
