C-11 seems in chaos and Canadian media policy in general. I feel a need for group therapy (LOL with my tiniest following, 289) I'm trying Twitter because I would like to try to help. Will be posting stuff I hope will be of value.

Tweet #2/10. May I coin a new word, GLATIONAL: public policy informed by mastery of global dynamics? I get both sides' pain. C-11 chaos seems attributable to lack of understanding. GLATIONAL seems missing from some perspectives. Knowledge is power. Its opposite: fear of unknown.

#3/10. May I plead with everyone to take 20 minutes that might change the debate? This Canadian YouTube TED Talks is 6 years old, but riveting & relevant as ever. Canadian Salim Ismail,"How do we fix civilization?" youtu.be/mV0oKVOIGG4 Your thoughts most welcome. LOL: Cancon?

#4/10: Fabulous line (of many) in Cartt.ca by LenSt-Aubin, on the policy team that wrote the 1991 Broadcasting Act : "Bill C-11 favours the burden of regulated demand over the success of market-based demand. It is appallingly out of touch." cartt.ca/commentary-a-r…

Last week, TikTok Canada provided a written briefing on Bill #C11 to the Committee on Canadian Heritage. We all want to see Canadian creators thrive, and we've shared our thoughts on how we can #FixC11 to achieve that. TL;DR👇 1/9 #CHPC #cdnpoli newsroom.tiktok.com/en-ca/bill-c-1…

We all have the same goal of seeing 🇨🇦 digital creators thrive, but #C11 isn't the right toolkit to achieve that. Let's instead work together to help all creators - digital, traditional and everyone in between - harness the power of 🌍 platforms to reach new audiences. 9/9

This episode of @Mgeist's podcast, Michael Geist's Podcast Series with Jeff Elgie and Farhan Mohamed is so fabulous it should be required listening for all concerned.

Why mess with a good thing? YouTube costs 6B/yr. CA cost? Zero. 160,000 creators (incl CA govt & old media) export on YouTube: Free. Instant. Global. Oh & free audience data comes with. Morghan_Fortier_BA_CEO on The Audience Lab Podcast, Mediaucracy series, open.spotify.com/show/40wx8bc35…

I also watched “the sausage being made.” Fell asleep. Is it “fully cooked?”

This is what Pablo Rodriguez and the government thought was appropriate democratic review of Bill C-11 amendments last night. This went on for hours: just amendment number and vote. No discussion, debate, questions, or disclosure of amendment content. michaelgeist.ca/2022/06/herita…,

“It’s been made quite clear to the Trudeau government that there will be a diligent and thorough study of this flawed legislation; one that will be done transparently and will include witnesses whose voices and concerns were silenced in the other place.” x.com/nationalpost/s…

Most notable exchange with CRTC Chair on Bill C-11: Asked by Julie Miville-Dechêne to provide specific examples about how discoverability would work if not with algorithms, he responded platforms would have to meet outcomes. How? By manipulating algorithms. x.com/mgeist/status/…

The subtitle barrier is gone, but the global audience love for 'good stories well told' is forever. From The Audience Lab Podcast series, Mediaucracy shorturl.at/tBT06, the remarkable story of Netflix mega-hit, The Girl from Oslo, with Israeli co-creator Ronit Weiss

From The Audience Lab Podcast at The Creative School, a must-listen episode of our podcast series, Mediaucracy, featuring Irene S Berkowitz, PhD, on Canada's exuberant abundance of creative talent and why we're a policy tweak away from owning the global stage. spoti.fi/3viEwE0

THANK YOU Scott Benzie Digital First Canada -- honoured and thrilled to moderate 2 panels (platforms & creators) at 2022 Summit, reconnect and meet so many amazing folks. @Jjmccullough Jeanette Patell Steve de Eyre Morghan_Fortier_BA_CEO J Mcc NEWJ (Orbee Roy) Fred Bastien Forrest & many more.

Grateful for support over past 24 hours, but still struggling with how my calls for a comment from Heritage Minister Pablo Rodriguez on govt funding an anti-semite led to excuse it isn’t his file and to his Parliamentary Secretary suggesting I’m racist. x.com/mgeist/status/…

This neither acknowledges implying Michael Geist is a racist or our govt continuing to employ someone with long term public record of extremist statements calling for violence and worse against Jewish people - in the capacity of an anti-racist instructor. Jonathan Kay

Heritage Minister Pablo Rodriguez and the government have even lost Toronto Star on Bill C-11: Editorial board calls for changes, expressing concerns with regulating user content, lack of transparency, and the effort to pass the bill without full debate. thestar.com/opinion/editor…
