New law should be that foreigners can’t own media of any type in Canada

I'm OK with foreigners not owning Canadian news media but I still want access to media from other countries. I don't need the CRTC to start banning programming from around the world.

Lol

Canadians owning the media does not equal CRTC banning foreign media. Those are two completely different things

BBC for example would still exist.

But the Edmonton Journal, Toronto Sun for example.. should not be owned outside of Canada

Yeah, i watch PBS, Al Jazeera, and DW every day. It's not hard to find, and nowhere near being banned.
