Canadian residents can access news online by going directly to news websites, using mobile news applications, and subscribing to preferred publishers.
Lol. Or you know. Lemmy!!
Until Canada tries to enforce this law against Lemmy instances.
You mean like asking a fair share of Lemmy's instances ads revenues to be given to media companies?

Sure, and non-profit digital radio stations will never need to pay for music streams.
No, we've been watching how this sort of nonsense plays out for decades. If what you want to do is not contemplated by the regulatory deal, then it'll end up illegal.

What exempts small sites?
