Heritage Minister @pablorodriguez: Facebook must pay $100M for links to news or stop linking to news under Bill C-18.
Facebook: Ok, we’ll stop linking to news.
Rodriguez: Stop intimidating Canadians.
We live in the stupidest of times.

If Facebook does pull the pin Canada in that could be a very good thing.
People really use Facebook for news? Why? Especially if they only link to government sponsored crap like the CBC or CTV. And I am not intimidated Pablo, you Liberal dick. Get a friggin” haicut and grow TF up
Liberal dick??
The guy is a freaking Chilean for crying out loud. He’s probably a communist who took off from Chile because things got too hot for him when the so-called “right wing” was running the country.
When you consider how the Chilean Communists allowed former GDR fuhrer Erich Honecker safe harbor in Chile as the wall fell, it says something.
Honecker had even less love for freedom of speech than Gen. Pinochet.
Remember, Pablo, that the market works best with competition, not control. But I guess that your communist father, who fled Argentina because of being persecution for being a communist gadfly, didn’t teach you that lesson, nor did he understand that lesson. And words, once spoken, can never, ever be recalled. You presume, like the good communist that you are, that central planning and control work best when history demonstrates that they are the precursors to failure and misery for the common man (that communism claims to love and work to save). You are, therefore, ignorant of history, and doomed to repeat it. Two words: Nicolai Ceaucescu. The time of honoring your intellect will come to an end, and it will not be good for you.
We need Romanians.
Pablo Rodriguez earns corporate media brownie points for wanting to destroy independent, dissident media. Having said that, he is not the brightest fellow around Parliament Hill. Jackboot followers — wherever they cluster about — tend to have limited brainpower.
I love it. Literally everything this government touches gets destroyed and the idiot journalists lobbied them to pass these stupid bills. You reap what you sow scumbags.
Doublethink makes absolutely perfect sense to a Lieberal.
Chi-Chi should shut his pie-hole and stick to playing golf.
Good, good. Let Facebook stop linking to news. Should be a wake up call for the government— that is if they are capable of waking up. I am not sure they are.
There is no wake-up call.
This is not about whether or not one likes Facebook but why ANY social media should withdraw from Canada because some fat, hairy b@$#@rd from Argentina says so.
People should have the right to read what they wish, even if the material is utter rot.
Why do Pablo and Justin get to decide what idiot Canadians read or watch?
South Park already did it…

“One hundred million dollars” doesn’t sound like it’s taken from a scene in a comedy with a dimwitted clown, drunk on power at it’s center.
Got to say this about that.
As is the wont of the would be dicktators (sic) everywhere, once they get in power, they start dicktating (sic).
The problem is with the dicktator (sic).
As per FB, could not care less if it is or isn’t.
On the whole, it can disappear tomorrow and the world would be instantly a better place.
“C-18, ultimately, is to guarantee a press that is free, independent, strong,“ HA! Rodriguez is a lying asshole. The CBC is definitely not free. We pay a billion a year for it. The CBC is not independent as it is controlled by the Liberal government and as for strong, no one watches or believes in the CBC.
Canada, as is much of the world, is run by RETARDS.
Not people with medical or accidental cognitive disorders.
Full blown RETARDS.
“C-18, ultimately, is to guarantee a press that is free, independent, strong,“ Rodriguez said.
C18 will do the opposite.
The press for the most part takes the government’s money, and then toe’s the government line, while trying to compete against the government run entity called CBC.
I’m sure YouTwitFace will all be willing to carry the new at standard advertising rates…
There is no free or independent press when the government bribes it with $600 million.
The entire country is intimidated by morons who fear trucks.
Canadians let this happen.
Every time I read or hear the name Pablo Rodriguez I think “impaired driving”.
(and every time I hear the name Adrian Dix I think “lying to police”)
How are these people even in government?
Clearly Canadians like them.
Because Canada.
