Meh. The Globe & Mail has a paywall, so I went to the next national outlet.
 
But on a related topic, there’s a bill (C-11) going through Parliament in which 
the CRTC wants to assert its Cancom rights on streamers.
https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/youtube-could-manipulate-algorithm-under-streaming-bill-crtc-chair-1.5961336
 
If you do a search for C-11 on da Toob, the content providers will explain why 
they think it’s a bad idea.

The problem here is that the National Post is to the CBC what the Daily
Mail is to the BBC and Rupert Murdoch's holdings are to public broadcasting
in general.  The fact that the columnist includes a rant on Canadian
content in media (which radio stations have had to go by now for over 50
years and is not going to go away anytime soon) goes right along with that
(along with the primary owner being an American hedge fund).  Just remember
that an attempt by the Toronto Sun to do a Fox News-style conservative
cable news network in Canada turned out to be a huge flop.

Good opinion piece which digs a little deeper into other media issues next door.

But hey, Sandie Rinaldo is still on the weekend shift. She’s anchored since 
1985, save for a year’s interlude when that “Dateline” guy filled in.
