Canada’s Online News Act not only creates harmful link taxes - it may also conflict with Canada’s international trade commitments to the United States under the U.S.-Mexico Canada Agreement #USMCA.

TPP represented a kind of farcical wishlist for America's corporate giants, including the tech sector, and it looked like a done deal - until Trump. Trump unilaterally withdrew from TPP, so the tech industry's reps simply tacked around TPP. They took everything they'd wanted to get out of TPP and crammed it into the #USMCA, Trump's rewrite of #NAFTA. This makes perfect sense - corporate America's priority was TPP's policies, not TPP itself.

We continue to believe that the legislation contradicts #USMCA and harms U.S. suppliers, as well as the content industry.
