Draft regulations released by the government Friday outlined for the first time how it proposes to level the playing field between Big Tech and Canada's news media sector, and which companies it will apply to.

Hi! I need all Americans watching Skinnamarink to understand. This is what they are referring to
Kyle Edward Ball grew up in Canada in the 90s and early 00s, this is his Skinnamarink as much as it is mine and you have no idea how vindicated I feel at the possibility that this elephant has haunted him for the past 25 years as well.
