I’m missing the part where this is the private companies’ responsibility, or why the taxes they pay aren’t covering this need already. Obviously, this will just result in a 5% increase in everyone’s fees (worldwide, I’m sure, not just Canada). But I wouldn’t be surprised to see these services just pull out of Canada altogether, for fear of this shit setting a precedent.

the CBCleftist propaganda outlet.Seriously. That's all this is. People are probably choosing to watch less TV, which means those indoctrination shows/channels are bringing less money from the commercials they run. Thus, the money has to be forcefully extracted somewhere else.
