Today on NOW and NEXT:

Veteran journalist/columnist, host of The Daily Edition on Sirius XM radio and co-founder of The Line, Matt Gurney joins the show to give us a start-ups perspective on the mess that is Bill C-18, the Online News Act.

That's the mess of regulation passed by Canada's federal government requiring Google and Meta to pay for news links posted on their platforms.

Matt says the legislation will do little or nothing to support start-up news organizations like The Line. In fact, Bill C-18 means organiztions like The Line will lose the opportunity to promote its work and content if news disappears from Facebook and Google.
