Only, it seems that Facebook would rather just ban links to Canadian news organizations, and Justin Trudeau is not amused. He complains that Facebook is choosing “corporate profits” over the safety of Canadian citizens by limiting the amount of news that Canadians are exposed to on social media. This makes little to no sense because if Facebook was making so much money on linking to news articles, they would still come out on top after making these payments to the CBC and others.

It should also be noted that the largest news organizations in Canada are government owned and would be the largest recipient of such payments.

Leftists, like Trudeau, like to live in a world where basic economic laws do not exist. If you make something more expensive than it’s worth, people won’t buy it. The Canadian government made news links in Canada more expensive than they are worth, and so Canadians will miss out entirely.

Like I said at the start, you can tax something out of existence. The leftists seem to want to do this with oil and guns, but act completely flabbergasted when they break other things they want to milk through confiscatory policies.
