The baffling week of how the Liberals can't help themselves in trying to help media but failing
Yes, thank you federal Liberals, your presumptions about the craft of journalism, how it ought to operate and be financed, definitely hit the spot. In the last week, we journos have taken in quite the mouthfuls of your medicine – some from the spoon of government, some from the spoon of the party that guides it.
The problem with a link tax is that it’s unworkable because it is hard to identify copyrighted material and what is and isn’t news. It’ll be the slipperiest of slopes. No other country has chosen to use this approach. They understand the Internet is meant to freely connect and not to charge a toll as you do. The legislation needed encourages negotiated settlements and, when there are disputes, arbitration – the Australian model, the one that rejected the link-tax idea.
And then there was what happened last weekend at your party’s national convention, thanks to the spadework from the Vancouver-Quadra riding association. Again: good intentions, road to Hell. I’m dating myself, but your leader’s father, the architect of our Charter of Rights and Freedoms, must have shouted “fuddle duddle” from his grave about the constitutional breach. Anyone taking the Grade 11 Introduction to Law class would know that, too. Pierre’s son, our leader, took his sweet time – three days – to declare his government wouldn’t respect the resolution and would “never harm journalists’ capacity to do the professional, independent work that they do.
