Tell your MP: Keep Canada’s News Free!
New legislation is about to put Canadian news under the controlling thumb of online platforms AND the federal government.
Bill C-18, the Online News Act, puts massive funding behind an entirely secret process in which government ministries decide who qualifies as real news organizations, and big online platforms decide what kind of news gets the support.1
Supporting the news is important – but it cannot come at the cost of independent, trusted journalism.
Email your MP and ask them to go back to the drawing board on Bill C-18!
