Episode Notes

Canada’s Bill C-11, the Online Streaming Act, is being sold as a way to support Canadian content. But beneath the surface, it threatens the future of free speech, creator visibility, and digital expression across platforms like YouTube, TikTok, and Spotify. In this unfiltered breakdown, The Weird Canadian (me) dives into what the bill actually does — and why it should terrify every creator, activist, and everyday citizen.

🎙️ From vague definitions of “Canadian content” to opaque algorithmic control by the CRTC, this isn’t regulation — it’s narrative manipulation.

🔥 If you care about free speech, independent media, and the future of culture in Canada, this video is for you.
