This is about canadian news content. I don't think we want or need a lot of foreign content , which is what they give us now.

Yes you are missing something. Original content is copyright protected so they should be paying anyway.

For clarity there is a lot we know and a lot we don't. We have theories that fit all the observations. When an observation does not fit the current theories other theories are created to fill the gaps. Kind of like your car swerving with no reason you know of so you theorize a gust of wind caught you.

This is NOT about making them use Canadian news but making them pay for it, as they are supposed to anyway. If they choose not to use Canadian content, do you really want to support them? Google is trying to influence gov't policy with this tactic, as they did unsuccessfully elsewhere.
