The Canadian Government and two Opposition Parties, the Liberals, the NDP, and the Bloc Québécois, are expected to present a united front in support of the Online News Act at a news conference. The legislation aims to hold tech giants like Google and Meta accountable by requiring them to pay news organizations for web story access. Google and Meta have threatened to remove Canadian news content from their platforms, but have not yet done so. The Conservative Party voted against the bill and the government is expected to have talks with Google regarding their concerns.
