This is deadly serious. And I think the title of this article misses the point. The media have admitted to nothing. They made a statement of fact, and if they were to appear in a courtroom, what would the charge be? However framed, they would deny, not admit, to anything. THE GUILTY PARTY IS THE LIBERAL GOVERNMENT, AND EVERY SINGLE ONE WHO VOTED FOR THEM IS COMPLICIT! It is the government that is paying hundreds of millions to support the media, and the government appears to own the courts at the highest levels. More grease is being applied to the slippery slope to oblivion that this once-proud country is on.
As many of us have repeatedly said, if you want to find evil, follow the money!
Always enjoy listening to Mario. He cuts through the BS and states the facts…straight forward and to the point. Keep up the good reporting Mark and Mario!
Never forget you could be posting this on Facebook if the Liberals hadn’t forced through their Bills C-11 and C-18. Excellent interview and job, thanks!
???? can't you post what you want on Facebook? How about X (formerly Twitter)? What are these "bills" you speak of? As an American I am totally in the dark, would you please elaborate? Appears you can post openly on Juno but is social media censored?
PS when you have time read my long winded (sorry) remarks on Carney & Brookfield I posted tonight. I wonder if I will get the RMP coming for me, telling the truth seems to be an act to be punished.
lol so Canada is not charging Facebook etc but is censoring Canadian citizens by not allowing them to post on them. I suppose this is in regard to the DST Canada said it won't charge US social media but in reality it is banning Canadians from sharing news to the entire world. TY for responding to my inquiry. How awful
And our tax payer funded Liberal propaganda legacy media only supports Carney and the Liberals, so we really need to support our alternative media like Juno!
You’re welcome. We have even worse Bills on the agenda now, Bill C-8, 9, 63 the online harms act, they’re all about censorship even of religious freedoms.
**Bill C-11** (the **Online Streaming Act**) and **Bill C-18** (the **Online News Act**) are two Canadian laws passed in 2023 that regulate online platforms. They aim to support Canadian content and journalism but have sparked significant debate over potential censorship or restrictions on online content.
Neither bill directly bans or removes specific content like traditional censorship (e.g., no government-mandated takedowns of political speech or explicit removal of posts for viewpoint reasons). Critics argue they enable indirect censorship through government influence over what content is promoted, demoted, or made less accessible.
### Bill C-11: Online Streaming Act
This amends the **Broadcasting Act** to bring online streaming services (e.g., Netflix, YouTube, Spotify, TikTok) under **CRTC** (Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission) regulation, similar to traditional TV and radio.
- **Main goals**: Require platforms to support Canadian content (often called "CanCon") by contributing funds to its production and improving its "discoverability" (e.g., making it easier to find in recommendations, searches, or feeds).
- **How it affects online content**:
- Platforms may need to adjust algorithms to prioritize certain Canadian or diverse content.
- This could involve **promoting** approved Canadian material while potentially reducing visibility of non-qualifying content (including foreign or non-"certified" Canadian content).
- User-generated content on social media has exemptions for unaffiliated individual users (e.g., regular YouTubers or TikTok creators uploading personal videos are generally not directly regulated).
- However, the CRTC can impose conditions on platforms, and broad powers raise concerns about overreach, such as influencing what appears in feeds or requiring registration for some creators (e.g., podcasters).
- **Censorship concerns**:
- Critics (including scholars like Michael Geist, opposition parties, and groups like OpenMedia) argue it gives unelected CRTC bureaucrats power to "pick winners and losers" in content visibility, effectively manipulating algorithms and limiting free expression under **Section 2(b)** of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
- It's not outright removal of content, but **algorithmic interference** could hide or downrank material, described by some as "soft censorship" or government control over discoverability.
- The government and supporters insist it's about cultural promotion, not controlling what Canadians can watch or say—users can still access anything directly.
- **Status** (as of 2026): Implementation is ongoing, with CRTC consultations and rules rolling out, including contributions from large platforms and discoverability requirements. Legal challenges continue over free expression implications.
### Bill C-18: Online News Act
This requires large digital platforms (mainly Google and Meta) that act as intermediaries for news to negotiate fair compensation with Canadian news businesses when their content is linked to or shared on the platforms.
- **Main goals**: Address imbalances where platforms profit from news without paying publishers, supporting struggling Canadian journalism.
- **How it affects online content**:
- It doesn't require platforms to remove news but forces bargaining for payments.
- In response, **Meta** (Facebook/Instagram) blocked all news content in Canada (a blanket ban on sharing or viewing news links/articles from Canadian sources on its platforms).
- **Google** reached deals but initially threatened restrictions; it adjusted by removing some news features or limiting exposure.
- **Censorship concerns**:
- The indirect result is reduced access to news on major social platforms—many Canadians lost easy access to journalism via feeds, shares, or searches on Facebook/Instagram.
- Critics call this a form of censorship because government policy led platforms to suppress or eliminate news availability rather than pay up, harming public discourse, especially for those relying on social media for information.
- It's framed as a "link tax" by opponents (including platforms), and the fallout has been described as unintentionally suppressing information flow.
- The government views it as fairness in the market, not content control—platforms choose how to respond.
- **Status** (as of 2026): In effect since 2023, with ongoing impacts like Meta's news ban. It has reshaped how news circulates online in Canada, with some smaller publishers hit hard by lost traffic.
In summary, these bills don't involve direct government orders to delete posts or ban speech. Instead, they regulate platforms in ways that can alter content visibility, promotion, or availability—leading to accusations of indirect censorship through bureaucratic control (C-11) or platform retaliation (C-18). Supporters see them as necessary cultural and economic protections; critics view them as threats to an open internet.
How dare this idiot, Blaine, ridicule Mario! Unlike the CBC, which is funded by taxpayers, Mario relies solely on donations. He’s dedicated to telling the truth and presenting Canadians with the actual facts, not the CBC’s liberal spin. We need someone to hold the CBC accountable.
SOMALI "HERITAGE MONTH"!!!! WOW! AN ENTIRE MONTH TO SUPPORT A FOREIGN COUNTRYS' HERITAGE MONTH. CANADIANS' TAXPAYER FUNDS SHOULD ONLY BE SUPPORTING CANADIAN ACHIEVEMENTS. SOMALIANS IN SOMALIA PAY FOR THEIR OWN SPECIAL CULTURAL EVENTS - THEY DON'T NEED ANY CANADIAN TAXPAYER FUNDS TO DO SO JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE IN CANADA. THIS FRACTURED, IDIOTIC LIBERAL GOVERNMENT MUST STOP THE OUTRAGEOUS SPENDING BEFORE TAXPAYERS JUST REFUSE TO PAY ANY MORE TAXES AT ALL.
The EXODUS of taxpaying Canadians started up in 2015 when trudeau #2 was elected. The Exodus has not stopped at all...and it will continue to grow under the WEF'S MARXIST Carney. WHY DO OUR RCMP DO NOTHING TO PROTECT CITIZENS FROM THEFT OF CPP FUNDS AND THE ONGOING FREE FOR ALL WITH TAXPAYER FUNDS.
I hope so. The same thing is happening in the UK, France, Scandinavia, and Germany. All New World Order, WEF controlled, unlimited and uncontrolled immigration.
yes, immigrants living high off the taxpayers which is why I am DONE paying taxes. Government needs to be working for taxpaying CANADIANS AND STOP STEALING CPP FUNDS IMMEDIATELY!!!
Is this a real thing? We already have a PRIDE month, and I'm pretty sure we have a Black History month. We also have No-Mow November. We're soon going to be out of months.
What the Hell are we going to do then? No wonder I'm ageing so damn rapidly. I want my months back!
Here's a little more context on what we get from the MSM for all the billions we pay them:
From today's major national newspaper, page 5.
Headline:
GST relief plan to cost $12.4 billion over 6 years - source: Parliamentary Budget Office
Unstated sub-headline: Yay Carny, Yay Liberals. Woo Hoo!
What a great big fat number, eh? Can't wait to get my greedy little fingers on my share of that. Visions of tropical vacations now dancing in my head.
But wait, let's do just a little math on that. (Not the New Canadian Math that requires us to factor in gender issues) just some plain old fashioned Grade-School Math.
Take their own published number at face value and divide it by our current population, ~ 40 million.
12,400,000,000 / 40,000,000 = $310 for every man, woman, or child. $310 for each of us - over 6 years. That's pretty much two weeks of groceries for most of us.
Now unless this is more of the Liberal's new math, whereby budgets balance themselves, and debt magically morphs into investment, you might want to hold off on the Club Med vacation plans.

And right above this, the headlines:
Recent Airtime vaults PM --- Carny Liberals enjoying bump in support after Davos speech: Poll
What poll? Who commissioned it. Who would commission a poll to see what a bunch of mega billionaires thought of a speech by one of their very own. A Pretendanadian.
A bunch of pedantic, bored and boring one-world Utopian elitists who gather in their mutually-onanistic circles every few months to let us know what to do in our soon-to-be property-less world.
Poilievre's speech was ten times more stirring - and it was relevant to Canadians.
Thanks, I have never understood why anyone pays attention to this smug, self-appointed, unelected-by-anyone group of jaded idiots. They seem to simply assume power and righteousness as their birthright.
These people glide through life in a fantasy world of private jets, castles, drawing rooms, yachts, and privilege. By and large, their power comes from inherited and/or stolen wealth. I doubt a single one of them has ever experienced a day of actual hard work out here in reality land.
The cbc use to be a decent station NOW it is total garbage that we the taxpayer are supporting!!
GET RID OF DAVID AND ROSEMARY!!!!!!! FOR STARTERS!!!!
CBC is the mouthpiece of the Liberal Party of Canada
To the surprise of .............. anybody..
ANYBODY???
Bought, paid for and given most of these fakes they would probably do this for nothing.
But better to be paid.
Canada's untrustworthy, PRAVDA MSM.
The best propaganda Liberal (err.. sorry.. Taxpayer) money can buy.
Bought, paid for, corrupted, unreliable pieces of that which one picks up after one's dog.
In plain view for all to see and ignore.
Sadly.. Not enough do that.
As a result you get garbage journalism which gives you garbage politicians which gives you garbage governance.
A theme...???
YOU BETCHA.

I can’t post a screen shot but this is what it says when a news post is put on Facebook in Canada:
This post can't be shared
In response to Canadian government legislation, news content can’t be shared.

Are we begining to understand why so many Canadians are leaving what's left of Canada now?

I'm beginning to reflect on Bible Prophecy. I haven't set foot in church since my mother's passing in 1989.
Maybe time to return. Check out some of their 'End of Days' predictions.
Yes, a reflection of our times.
Propaganda and lies. The Liberal winning strategy.
