This a calculated move, but on the part of the Federal government, not google. It’s not about CanCon or newspapers and news sites/networks being paid for their linked content, it’s about slowly eliminating access to information that the federal government doesn’t control

It’s more about eliminating access to information controlled by foreign governments, if anything

That’s nonsense. You think the federal government want people to be getting their information from Twitter and Facebook?

This was a case of bad legislation pushed by short-sighted lobbyists. That’s it.

Right. There’s no grand convoy conspiracy here. Just out of touch politicians legislating stuff they don’t understand.
