Canada Online News Law Likely Dead as Part of US-Canada Trade Talks

Dow Jones00:22

1222 ET - Remarks from the US Trade Representative about progress on US-Canada trade talks point to the full reversal of digital policies introduced by former Canada PM Justin Trudeau, says internet-law expert Michael Geist. USTR says a tentative deal with Canada will incorporate "digital trade alignment." Geist, a law professor at University of Ottawa, notes Canada had already retreated from a digital-services tax compelling US streamers to hand over up to 15% of their Canadian revenue toward the domestic arts sector. Geist reckons the Trudeau-era online news law is now likely dead too. Meta Platforms blocked links starting in 2023 to news stories on Facebook and Instagram in Canada as the Trudeau administration law wanted digital platforms to finance media outlets.
