John,
You remember the $600-million media bailout the
Liberals announced in 2018?
That was the carrot.
Be nice and you will get subsidies.
Now comes the stick.
Yesterday, Heritage minister
Steven Guilbeault said on TV that all websites offering content on the
Internet, including small ones, would henceforth need licencing from
the government.
And presumably, those that are not
nice could lose their licence.
Today, after a deluge
of criticism, including mine and those of countless PPC supporters on
social media, he backtracked.
He said he had “no intention” of
regulating media and believes in a “free and independent press.”
Yeah, right.
The Liberals’ authoritarian
streak is showing more and more.
They clearly want to
control the media.
It didn’t work this time, but they will try
again.
And the only thing that will stop them is if
Canadians push back.
John, as you know, freedom is
one of the four key principles of the People’s Party.
Please help me and the PPC fight for our
freedoms with a $2 donation today.
Many
thanks,
-Max
