When retired CRTC people say it gives them too much power over what people post on the net, then I guess they can see the real reason for the bill. The government already controls much of the news we see and hear and read by giving millions of tax dollars to these organizations, you don't bite the hand that feeds you this well, so you water down the news to not make them look bad, right the opposite of what the media is suppose to do. Countries like Iran seem to block out what they don't want their people to see on the net, so I guess Canada can too.
