The battle over news access online is heating up with the feds pulling ads from Facebook, but a recent poll shows most want a deal.
Canadian Heritage Minister Pablo Rodriguez
The federal government has received support from Quebec Premier Francois Legault, who cancelled provincial ad spending shortly after the feds, as did the City of Montreal. Silent thus far is Ontario’s Doug Ford, whose government hasn’t said anything on this matter. When asked about Bill C-18, a poll taken this last week by Maru Public Opinion found 58% support the government’s position, with 22% saying they very much back the government view and 36% somewhat back it. That compares to 42% who oppose the government policy, 20% very much and 22% somewhat.
