Filmed in Canada, starring a Canadian, creating 1450 Canadian jobs. But #BTLR wants a massive new regulatory system because those jobs don’t result in “Canadian stories”. But beyond ticking a few boxes, does Cancon system do this? http://www.michaelgeist.ca/2020/02/btlrcanconquiz/ https://twitter.com/MPACanada/status/1230538795335987202

Meanwhile, in Canada both the #BTLR panel and the #CBC want to make it so only “official trusted news sources” are seen by the public.

It’s basically satire at this point.

Anonymous intelligence officials leak to the media evidence-free and utterly vague claims that Russia supports whichever candidates they hate, and we’re all supposed to just swallow it uncritically because of their histor…

The #BTLR Report is proposing that the gov't regulate "all media content undertakings" on the internet. This could be the biggest regulation of free speech in Cdn history.

A devastating, must-read review of the Broadcast panel report from @DoubleAspect@twitter.com: “the report’s recommendations would not merely expand the CRTC, but make into a bureaucratic behemoth. We must not let this happen.” #BTLR https://twitter.com/DoubleAspect/status/1227668202450083841

The Broadcast panel plan:
Mandated Netflix payments ✅
Levies on social media services ✅
Levies on news aggregators for media fund ✅
Payments by Skype and WhatsApp to fund broadband ✅
Who pays? Canadian consumers with higher costs and less choice. #BTLR

CIRA's statement on #BTLR:

If the internet had been regulated as heavily as is recommended in the Broadcasting and Telecommunications Legislative Review it would never have been built.

Petition launched in House of Commons on the broadcast panel report calling on the government to “reject the recommendations regarding the legislation and regulation of free speech, free expression and the free press.” Backed by @MichaelChongMP@twitter.com #BTLR https://petitions.ourcommons.ca/en/Petition/Details?Petition=e-2418
