There is a law professor at U of Ottawa who is generally considered the most expert and independent on these topics and he has been blowing the whistle on this bill c-18. Michael Geist.
Rogers and bell have quite the grip on our governments but this one really takes the cake.
Likely the Quebec privacy laws which are gdpr equivalent in many cases. This forces tech companies to create a different experience for Quebec vs rest of Canada. As neither have enough user size, it's often easier to skip Canada altogether till the team has the spare bandwidth for this.

That sort of seems like a needless barrier for companies. What is the precedent for that? It almost seems like those in Quebec have established some sort of "We're different, so everyone must suffer" constitutional amendment. But then again, I have no clue.
