There are a couple of other big lies the government and CRTC have spread about C11. Namely, the bill is about modernizing the broadcast system and levelling the playing field.

C11 doesn't modernize the broadcast system, it modernizes the Cancon subsidy system by imposing 20th century regulations on the internet. Modernizing the broadcast system would involve broadcasters having to adopt features, like 4K, HDR, Dolby Atmos, online service cancellation, and multi language support, that streamers provide.

If the CRTC was in charge of the NHL it would say that it's not fair that Connor McDavid is so good, therefore, in order to level the playing field, McDavid will have to play with one eye covered and his skates tied together. After all, we can't allow excellence to thrive in this country.

Thank you, Peter Menzies, for your valiant and fierce truth telling. Let us not go tamely into that dark night of government overreach and bureaucratic social engineering.

Peter, you insist on telling the truth. Ooops! Big, bigger, biggest brother is going to censor me!

Please continue telling the truth until BBBB shuts you down.

Thanks for writing on media issues in the public interest Peter. You and Geist are basically the only ones who seem to cover it properly. If anyone knows of any other good Cdn media journalists or critics please feel free to share:)

Any True North News off-shoots. (See below) Also The Honest Report (honestreporting.ca), Rebel News Canada and The Hub. Lastly, Christian broadcaster Laura-Lynn Live also does a good job.

True North:

-The Daily Brief with Cosmin Dzsurdzsa

-The Andrew Lawton Show

-Off-the-Record

-The Daily Beaver

I’ll sometimes hit some of those but the bias is kinda overwhelming. Of that ilk I find Trish Wood interesting and insightful, if a little too intense..
