The Issue
Google and Facebook are global monopolies that are abusing their power and control against news media around the world. In Canada, they're using their monopoly power to scoop up 80% of online advertising revenues and to free ride on the news content produced by hardworking journalists and publishers across the country.
Real news costs real money to report. But the monopolies are deliberately cutting newspapers off from the sources of revenue to pay for it.
Our Solution
Governments in other democracies are fighting back. In Australia, they're putting in place a comprehensive solution to allow their newspapers to negotiate fair compensation with the monopolies. They're doing it with support from all the main political parties.
The Australian approach is the perfect solution for Canada. It levels the playing field – and does so without relying on government funding or new taxes or user fees. That’s why we are proposing that Canada adopt it.
