Dear All,

If you've been following along with respect to the debates sparked by Bill C-10, the Broadcasting Reform Act, and other pending government bills and actions with respect to online harms, website blocking, news compensation, etc., you may find a new piece by me that just came out this morning of interest.

Bill C-10 is an attempt by the Canadian government to bring internet-based audiovisual media services under democratic oversight, but its scope is ill-defined. As Dwayne Winseck argues, given the core flaws that the debate over Bill C-10 has identified, this much is clear: Canada should drop the bill and start over.

Other than that, I hope that you are well and enjoying a week of CCA papers and other activities.

best wishes,
