With ongoing merger talks between two of Canada’s largest news publishers, Conservative MP Michelle Rempel Garner is urging Canadians to make recent legislation and federal subsidies affecting media outlets across the country a voting issue in the next general election.
“For all the subsidies and interventions the Liberals have put in place since coming to power in 2015, thousands of journalists’ jobs have been lost as dozens of newsrooms have been shuttered,” Rempel Garner wrote in a Substack post on June 28, as first reported by Blacklock’s Reporter.
