eh, no - not even close. Not a fanboy of JT here, but I do understand the reasoning. Media isn't quite the same up here as it is down in the States, but from my understanding, some of the arguments for Bill C-18 are:

- It would support the Canadian news industry, which has suffered from the loss of advertising revenue to tech platforms which regularly have attribution ripped from content.

- It would ensure fair and transparent negotiations between news publishers and tech platforms, and prevent platforms from discriminating against certain news sources.

- It would recognize the value of news content and the public interest in having access to diverse and reliable information.

- It would benefit small and local news outlets, which are more vulnerable to the dominance of tech platforms.
