    Australia did this already. I heard it was successful but I don’t know much about it.

    Does anyone have good sources about how it went for Australia and does it have a chance in Canada?

    We can already access the news just like we always could even before facebook and twitter existed… I quit both of them over 6 years ago but never quit reading the news…
