I don’t see a lot of difference in intent between something like Bill C-11 and PP’s promise to enact financial penalties on Universities that don’t allow certain speakers.
On one hand, government wants Canadian content on platforms streaming in Canada, threatens financial penalties to make it happen.
On the other, party wants controversial speakers to speak in University campuses, threatens financial penalties to make it happen.
I assume people who are disqualifying the Liberals because of C-11 are at least very nervous about the types of authoritarian overreach that the Conservatives are interested in? Or is it OK for the government to control content for some things and not others?
