The fear is of indirect censorship. As was the case with law enforcement/intelligence informally requesting take downs in the US, Canada will be making this process formal.

> Canada's current spat with Google over news is a recent example.
That was particularly hilarious.
That's bad.
And given this newest revision is talking about Canadian values you might be regulated on the content of your show with that one or two man team to deal with the show and any issues.
It's great for large businesses but not small. It's going to be great for cbx and global who can hire someone whose whole job is dealing with regulatory burdens and applying for grants. but Joe entertainer doing his podcast on YouTube is going to have a tough time dealing with the regulations.
I personally don't know why people fear anything here. All you have to do to comply is add some Canadian content to your platform and recommend it and promote it in listings. You don't need to take down any other content or omit certain topic/subject matter.
The only question is, does it work? Does it really help promote Canadian made content and Canadian thoughts and ideas? Or does it do a poor job and just end up hamstringing our media companies internationally and financially.
