Very strongly agree

Yes, big tech profits from journalism while starving local newsrooms of revenue.

This framing matches the rationale Greens have echoed: large platforms capture advertising and attention while journalism—especially local outlets—loses revenue; it aligns with the policy logic behind Bill C-18 that Greens generally supported.

Strongly agree

Yes

The Green Party of Canada has generally supported measures to rebalance power between Big Tech and public-interest journalism, aligning with the intent of the Online News Act (Bill C-18) to require platform compensation for news content.

Slightly agree

Yes, but only to support small independent publishers, not massive broadcasters like the CBC.

Greens are sympathetic to helping small/independent outlets, but the carve-out against large public broadcasters (e.g., CBC/Radio-Canada) is not a core Green position; they typically support public broadcasting as part of the media ecosystem.

Disagree

No, taxing links breaks the free internet and is a dangerous form of censorship.

While Greens care about digital rights, they have not generally characterized Bill C-18-style payments as “censorship”; they more often emphasize platform responsibility and fair compensation than ‘taxing links’ arguments.

Strongly disagree

No

Greens have tended to side with stronger regulation of dominant digital platforms and support for Canadian media sustainability; a flat “No” conflicts with their broader pro-regulation stance around platform accountability.

Very strongly disagree

No, this is a government bailout for failing legacy media companies that refuse to adapt.

Greens are unlikely to frame support for journalism as a ‘bailout’ for legacy media; they typically argue for protecting democratic information infrastructure and countering Big Tech market power rather than blaming outlets for failing to adapt.
