BATRA'S BURNING QUESTIONS: Bill C-18 pits social media giants against Canadian media

Sun Editor-in-Chief Adrienne Batra and political columnist Brian Lilley talk about Bill C-18 and the ramifications related to Canadian media and internet search engines/platforms like Google and Facebook.

Many Canadians will obey the Trudeau regime, but those outside Canada will not tolerate him. There is no limit to the Liberals ego.

[palmdodo]

No more CBC b/s on social apps? That’s dream comes true!🥳

[pdoffcanadian]

Your support of C-18 will be your company's demise. You're all about to be mostly kicked off the internet due to your greed, except for your own websites. Buh-bye! Next time, support freedom.

[jasonlaing]

HAHA. Mainstream deserves to disappear.

[NavyMooe]

If Trudeau was for Canadians, he would look at the polls and resign.

[monicavaniderstine]

You want my support ? Then drop the liberal politics

[MsGurtej]

Bill C-18 was only going to benefit larger media companies and not the independent and smaller guy, so for that I don't support the bill

Goodle and Facebook has done more to keep Old Media sources relevant today then they have hindered them. ^The Old Media sources are facing relevancy issues due to the fact that they had Udder disdain for their readers... They spent more time in editorial and censorship/misinformation then just clear facts. Financial Media sources like the times, etc, do well because they can't misinform their reader and hope to hold relevancy.

[ionskull]

Even the newspaper delivery boy had to adapt.

[NotANameist]

The whole damn thing is so weird. It’s like if you placed a classified ad in the newspaper in the 90s and then demanded the newspaper pay you for it.

Coming to a tv near you TNC ( Trudeau News Canada) & LNC ( liberal News Canada)

Trudoccio has done it again. He believes he is the one and only world ruler and the tech giants will teach him a very costly lesson. He wanted more Canadian content and now you won't even be able to find it.
Good job Trudy

[tinalaursen]

I believe it was during the Freedom Convoy that a local town paper had nothing about the Convoy but instead a story about long-eared goats. I'm serious. No offense to the goats who are smarter than the Liberals but who cares? Don't insult mine and others' intelligence and expect our sympathy or support. Canadian media earned this smack down and I am not the least bit sorry.

[mico]

Your employer supports your demise? Weird flex

[larrybethune]

This entire discussion reminds me of the Kodak story. Invented the digital camera but they reliance on what had always worked betrayed them.

[SharonDeriet-qbex]

trudeau can't stand seeing all the negativity on himself !!!! It bursts his bubble !!!!

[adrianverhoeven]

if it is so bad why does post media accept subsidies from Trudeau or are you asking for more

[oecypher]

*reporter's want to get paid for their news, well how about us all get paid for them using our likeness and selling our identification, we all contribute to platforms who make you watch ads and sell your info why cant we get paid. we are all independent contributors of digital information*

[johnkennett]

Should Ford, GM, BMW subsidize the horse and buggy manufactures?

[canadiangirl]

Independent voices wont have to pay! Haha Trudeau shot himself in the foot bahahahahha FJT
