If news can’t be searched for on Google or shared on Facebook, is it even really online? Bill C-18, the Online News Act, is currently before the senate. Heritage Minister Pablo Rodriguez says that this Bill will help save small newsrooms and local journalism outlets by giving them the power to negotiate with tech giants, deals for payment of news content that is shared on their platforms.
But Meta and Google’s response has been simple: they just won’t allow Canadian news on their platforms. In March, Google ran a test where one million Canadians could no longer see results for Canadian news searches. At the Canada Strong & Free conference in Ottawa last week, Meta said they would also disallow sharing of anything that looks like news on their sites, like Facebook and Instagram.
Last year, Canadaland and a group of other independent news publishers formed a consortium to lobby the government on this Bill. Today, Jesse sits down again with Senator Paula Simons, as Publisher of Canadaland, to discuss the Bill and not just his own issues with it, but hers too.

Last month, the Senate proposed twenty six amendments to Bill C-11, the Online Streaming Act, and the Heritage Minister rejected eight. One of those rejected amendments was proposed by Senators Paula Simons and Julie Miville-Dechêne. Its rejection may have a huge impact on many digital-first creators. Jesse sits down with Senator Simons to talk about the bill, this amendment in particular, and what the Senate can do in situations like this.

canadaLANDBACK is a co-production by Canada’s National Observer and Canadaland.
Landback is not just about returning real estate.
It is about Indigenous people reclaiming who we are and making ourselves whole again.
An elder once told me that he believed residential schools were designed to hurt women, because "They knew that when you break the hearts of our women, you break the strength of our nations."
That story and other teachings tell us that women are central and even sacred to our communities. This episode looks at how women are reclaiming their role as mothers, teachers, leaders, and sacred beings, despite everything colonialism has thrown at them.
This is not a story of hope, so much as it is a story of resilience and courage.
In this episode of landback we interview three women, whose stories intersect; Terri Brown, a former chief of the Tahltan First Nation in British Columbia, and former president of the Native Women’s Association (NWAC); Dr. Beverly Jacobs, Mohawk, Six Nations, is the Senior Advisor to the President on Indigenous Relations and Outreach at the University of Windsor and an Associate Professor in the Faculty of Law, who is also a former President of NWAC; Tori Cress Ojibway and Pottawattami, G’Chimnissing is a land and water defender.

À l'automne dernier, le journaliste politique Paul Wells a assisté à l'enquête publique sur l'utilisation de la loi sur les mesures d'urgence lors du convoi de la liberté de 2022. Avec comme point de référence un chapitre du prochain livre de Paul sur le sujet, Paul et Emilie discutent de la réaction policière aux manifestations, et plus précisément du rôle des équipes de liaison. Puis quel serait l’impact du projet de loi C-18 sur les nouvelles en ligne sur le journalisme canadien ?
Last fall, political journalist Paul Wells attended the public inquiry into the use of the Emergencies Act during the 2022 Freedom Convoy. With a chapter from Paul's upcoming book on the subject as a reference point, Paul and Emilie discuss the police response to the protests, specifically the role of police liaison teams. And what impact would online news legislation Bill C-18 really have on Canadian journalism?

Bill C-11, the Online Streaming Act, has been a long-time coming. After initially being proposed in 2021 as Bill C-10, it is in the final stage of becoming law. The bill would regulate online video streamers, forcing them to contribute towards the Canadian Content system and promote “CanCon” on their platforms, like traditional Canadian broadcasters do. Online-only creators have fears it would impact their livelihood.
Most Canadians aren’t even watching CanCon, will this Bill change that? Will it make CanCon better? Can a system that was built for traditional film and TV, be made to work for an increasingly online, global market?
Audio Editor and Technical Producer Tristan Capacchione sits down with Canadian filmmakers to talk all about the “CanCon” system and the problems they’ve experienced with it.
