Hello and welcome to this episode of the Political Debrief podcast. Today, we are talking about Bill C-18, the online news act, a very controversial bill which aims to support Canadian journalisim. To chat about this, we are joined by Tim Louis, the Liberal MP for Kitchener-Conestoga and a member of the heritage committee.

Very poor interview. Primarily softballs and almost zero pushback on the nonsensical position the government has taken on this horrible piece of legislation.
Hi J,
Thank you for listening and for taking the time to write a comment. Just curious, what substantive questions would you have asked MP Noormohamed?
