Everything I hear about this guy, since he left the leadership, makes me really regret that the party didn’t give him more of a shot. I think we could have done far worse than him as PM.

Yawn. Every second he spends thinking about this is a waste, that should be spent thinking about actual problems, of which we have plenty without inventing new ones.

I don’t see any reason anyone should be protesting anything by a school. Unless it’s the school kids themselves protesting, we did that once when I was in school. I think social pressure is appropriate here, if you’re doing this, you’re doing something messed up, and your friends should be telling you so.

This whole situation is really showing me how weak Canada and Canadians are. Yes, this is a dumb law, and Google and Facebook are right to be angry about it. But the hyperbole about how Canadians just won’t be able to find any news afterward is embarrassing. It just comes off as lazy, entitled people whining about how their spoonfeeder has weaned them off and now expects them to spoonfeed themselves. Are we really a nation of children? Cmon.

Crazy idea. How about we force the government to only advertise with the news companies?

I just think they ought to know how it feels to be forced to subsidize an industry, out of their own pocket, against their will.

If it’s legally binding, maybe Google ought to remove it from the auto-send row? I mean, it was a joke that somebody would trip and fall and their pen would just accidentally sign their name, but that could actually happen with this!

I like it the way it is now.
