The Canadian government seems to be following Australia's lead. Australia was able to make deals with Google and Meta, so Canada is probably looking for the same thing.

Yes, key word here is "make deals," which is what Australia ended up doing. They didn't just dictate terms like Canada seems to want to. The entire point of these companies banning news is to remind our government that no, you can't just dictate your terms, you actually have to negotiate. Maybe they will, we'll have to wait and see.

The one thing that makes government different than any other organization is yes they CAN just dictate the terms. That's their whole deal.
