Bill C-18 was sold as a law that would save Canadian journalism. Instead, Meta pulled news off Facebook and Instagram overnight, independent media lost their reach, and now the law itself has become a sticking point in trade negotiations with the United States.
CPA and host of The Really Big Show, Jim Csek, joins me to break down what Bill C-18 actually does, what it's cost independent media in Canada, and why Washington wants it gone as part of a new trade deal.
We get into the real numbers behind the Canadian Journalism Collective, whether Trudeau's government knew exactly what would happen when it passed this law, and what Jim's upcoming trip to Washington is actually trying to accomplish.
