- Good. Whatever you think of the intention, that in Canada, you can share Ontario Proud or some other “news” page but not The Globe and Mail and even the National Post was a real miss. Plus, let's add to the fact that hundreds of millions was paid to news orgs only to have them layoff journalists!! … @alimomen · Ali Momen

Because of the U.S., Canadians may soon be able to read news on Facebook again. Good. This may go down as the worst decision in media history. It was like going to owner of a roadside billboard who's been letting you use it for free and demanding they start paying you.

I hope they get this done. Is Meta objectively terrible on multiple fronts? Yes. Do a huge number of Canadians use Facebook & Instagram to get their info? Also yes. I want 🇨🇦 news where people can see it www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/ art...
