Some reflections on the Australian experience and what they might mean for Canada.

After Google’s move on Thursday, Heritage Minister Pablo Rodriguez sent a written statement calling the companies’ moves “deeply irresponsible and out of touch … especially when they make billions of dollars off of Canadian users” with advertising.

Australia’s regulatory experiment – the first of its kind in the world – also got off to a rocky start, but it has since seen tech companies, news publishers and the government reach a middle ground.

They want to make an example of Canada... When companies have enough power to even think about trying and make an example out of a country then they need to be dismantled or, even better, nationalized because it means they're important enough to be considered utilities.

At this point I would support not backing down purely to set an example of our own.

Reminds me of the classic Onion headline

"Facebook to discuss plans to regulate government over fears it has become too powerful."
