We really are a government run by incompetent, self-absorbed, unthinking nobodies. It shows since their pancake flipping and jersey wearing are so much more important content to them than actually running a country.

The naivete of the federal government along with the crass money grab (and abrogation of independent values) of Canada's media class is an amazing sight to behold. History will be written about this, and it won't flatter the federal Liberals and their crucial chattering class coalition members well.

Imagine, someone being forced to pay for the honour of allowing media links to be posted on their own 100% private website (that link to ad heavy and paywalled media sites). Absolutely ridiculous. A great scam if you can get it I suppose.

The Canadian media, including all arts and letters, needs to be cut off of all government patronage. It's obviously rotting them from the inside out, with the values of free expression and quality out the window. Those that can survive with a subscription or donation model deserve to survive. The public have said so. Those that can't, don't deserve to survive. Even us notoriously cheap and entitled Canadians will pay for content they want, if they can't get away with free anymore.
