The federal government says its willingness to speak with Meta about the possibility of seeing online news return to Facebook is part of an ongoing conversation Canada is having with the United States as the review of CUSMA nears.

"The door has always been open on our government's side to discuss these issues. We've been having regular discussions with platforms since the Online News Act was developed. This is nothing new," said Hermine Landry, press secretary to Culture Minister Mark Miller.

The Online News Act, which became law in 2023, requires tech giants like Google and Meta to pay media outlets for news content they share or otherwise repurpose on their platforms.

How about we don't and call it a day. Them tomorrow we bring back the digital services tax. We can take that tax money to create a Canadian EV company after buying US Canadian based auto plants for pennies on the dollar as the yanks shut them down and we expropriate them and life becomes better for everyone quickly.
