Bill C11 and C18 deal with content on the web...

C11 makes companies like Google pay newspapers and content providers for what they currently earn advertising revenue on by serving it up to you.
They get a free ride...don't have to pay anyone right now for content they simply link to...all the bill does is say you don't get that free ride...you must pay\share the revenues with those who create the content
Totally reasonable...if you disagree, then you are saying that anyone can take your music..then put it on line to monetize it..and is entirely free to do so without compensating you, the author

C18 forces companies like Netflix and such to create content in Canada. Think analogy of Autopact....you want to sell cars to Canadians, commit to making some of them here...simply ensures that some of the money LEAVING Canada comes back ...again, totally reasonable..they pay no income tax, and the HST charged is paid by the Canadian resident....

If you are against them both, ...that is fine...but it is not about censorship...and if you heard or read that, it most likely came from those with most to lose here.
