🇨🇦 CRTC Chair Whines That Censorship Takes Time

The head of Canada's broadcasting regulator is defending the glacial rollout of the Online Streaming Act after critics pointed out the obvious: the CRTC is bureaucratically incompetent even by Ottawa standards. This is the same Soviet-style agency tasked with forcing American streaming giants to fund Canadian content nobody watches and algorithmically promoting state-approved culture. They want to control what you see online, but can't even implement their own censorship framework on schedule.

The delay isn't a bug, it's a feature. Every month of confusion gives platforms time to lobby, the regime time to expand the rules, and Canadians less time to understand they're being digitally managed. When your entire model is justified by protecting CanCon that died with cable, speed isn't the priority. Control is.
