WHatever CBC decides it is.
Or whomever controls the media, so decide what it is or isn’t. Who’s portfolio as a cabinet minister would that be?
Although Steven Guilbeault no longer occupies his controversial position as minister of environment, his new cabinet post ensures that he will now have command of one of Canada’s most sweeping Trudeau-era internet controls.

Guilbeault will be supervising the implementation of the Online Streaming Act, a 2023 law that enables the feds to impose content controls over much of the Canadian internet.😉

Tuesday’s cabinet shuffle retained Guilbeault in his pre-election post as minister of Canadian Identity and Culture. The position gives him oversight over the CBC, Parks Canada, the Department of Canadian Heritage and the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission, among others.

At the time of Parliament’s dissolution, federal agencies had only just begun the process of applying the terms of the Online Streaming Act, but it had not yet yielded any noticeable changes to how Canadians were able to consume content from sites like Netflix or Disney+.

The Online Streaming Act effectively requires internet companies to follow the same rules on “Canadian content” as traditional TV and radio broadcasters.
