Not gonna lie, I don't see how your freedom of speech is restricted whatsoever by what's in the openmedia article.
In fairness, I didn't watch the video yet, and will comment afterward. |
Pulled directly from the linked openmedia article. These are serious points of concern for me.
- The short answer – yes. Like Bill C-10, Bill C-11 gives the CRTC unprecedented regulatory authority to monitor all online audiovisual content. This power extends to penalizing content creators and platforms and through them, content creators that fail to comply.

You’ll see less of the content you want most. According to the government, Bill C-11 will ‘increase visibility’ for some officially recognized Canadian content creators– but their tool for doing this is manipulating our playlists, feeds, and algorithmic recommendations.
Another very concerning point to bill C-11 is the language used in the writing of the bill. They use non specific vague terms to categorize a large portion items. The question then becomes, why. Why not use specific defined language to fully flesh out what powers they do and do not obtain thru this bill. Furthermore, When given the recommendation from senate to define and remove portions of the bill that could be used in a malicious manner by government or the CRTC, the government chose to decline the recommendation and push the bill thru. One has to ask, why again. If the end goal is to improve Canadian heritage content (unlikely) why allow it to contain abusive power capabilities.
