Sorry, is @CBCNews now a lobby group?
In this @CBCTheNational segment, CBC fails to disclose both CBC and the Winnipeg Free Press (whom they interview) are both lobbying the government for the exact same policy change discussed in this segment.
That is a conflict-of-interest.

Earlier this year, CBC and other for-profit news publishers signed a letter asking the government to rewrite copyright laws to entitle them to money whenever a link to their content is shared online.
CBC asked *no* critical questions about this idea.

I really can't overstate how weird this idea is.
A website like @natnewswatch, influential among Ottawa journalists and decision-makers, would likely be forced to pay money just to post links to news articles and directing traffic to their websites.

PS: I'm super down with sticking it to Big Tech and helping Canadian journalism, but this is a bizarre idea created by out-of-touch print and broadcast media executives who fundamentally do not understand how the Internet works.
