Very strongly agree

Yes

The Liberal government introduced and passed the Online News Act (Bill C-18, 2023) to require dominant digital platforms to compensate Canadian news businesses, so the party strongly supports the core idea of mandatory payment.

Very strongly agree

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

This mirrors the Liberals’ rationale for Bill C-18: platforms benefit from news content and advertising while newsrooms face revenue collapse; the government explicitly argued the law would help sustain local journalism.

Disagree

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

Liberals generally supported broad eligibility under Bill C-18 (not excluding large broadcasters like CBC/Radio-Canada) and defended including major outlets; they might like helping independents, but the exclusionary carve-out conflicts with their approach.

Strongly disagree

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

Liberals rejected the "link tax/censorship" critique during the Bill C-18 debate, arguing it targets bargaining/compensation rather than taxing links; they would strongly disagree with this framing.

Strongly disagree

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

The party has defended media support measures (including Bill C-18 and earlier journalism tax credits) as protecting democracy and local news, not a bailout for "failing legacy media," so they would strongly disagree.

Very strongly disagree

No

A flat "No" contradicts the Liberals’ signature policy in Bill C-18 and their repeated public framing that platforms should negotiate compensation with Canadian media.
