Ignore Bill C-11 for a second.

No, the whole point of this discussion was talking about Bill C-11 being awful and disqualifying the Liberals of being eligible for my vote.
You're trying to tell me I should somehow be more worried about who does and who doesn't get to speak at universities than control over all the media content that's available to all Canadians who consume an average of 3-6 hours thereof daily. Sorry, the two are not even remotely comparable in severity.
Bill C-11 is not really defensible in any interpretation in my mind. At best it's corrupt pork barreling to mostly Quebec-based corporations who have controlled the traditional broadcasting in this country who have lost their influence with the proliferation of internet content by forcing their content upon us and directly and indirectly forcing us to pay for it. At worse it can be used in practice to censor content not deemed 'Canadian enough' and artificially shape the content that is available for Canadians. Like literally no one other than people connected to companies like Bell actually wants this.
