Is there more info on what PP would like to do or how it would function? It is very vague to say they will penalize institutions who don't host speakers without the full context. There are all sorts of logistics constraints (ie. scheduling or security) that could arise which would not permit an event to be held.
In the end though, all private and public institutions should be able to host or not any event or speaker with very few exceptions for extreme cases. The same goes for online content. It should all be available through the various online providers and the government shouldn't be making decisions on algorithms that preferentially serve up content to anyone because it is "Canadian." If I want Canadian content I will search for it.
