The 'services of exceptional importance fund' isn't just crucial for CPAC. APTN's Monika Ille and The Weather Network's Kurt Eby say the fund is critical to their survival. thewirereport.ca/2026/04/27/cpa…

For @CPAC_TV to continue to fulfill its mandate, CEO Christa Dickenson says a “services of exceptional importance fund" is needed, but delays in modernizing the streaming act are prolonging uncertainty around predictable, long-term funding. #CRTC thewirereport.ca/2026/04/27/cpa…

CPAC is cutting PrimeTime Politics and L'Essentiel, just over a week after a rate increase approval from the CRTC. CPAC attributed the decision to mounting financial pressure amid cable subscriber decline. thewirereport.ca/2026/04/21/cpa…

UPDATE: After we published our story, Pineau has since posted a statement on X saying, "Canada is our home and we will always remain headquartered here." Pineau did not indicate if the company will remain Canadian-owned.

When questioned by MP @RaquelDancho in committee yesterday, @cohere exec @jpineau1 would not confirm the company would remain Canadian-owned amid merger rumours with Germany's @Aleph__Alpha. thewirereport.ca/2026/04/14/coh…

When it comes to a Canada/EU digital trade agreement, Canada's lack of modern digital policy is the elephant at the negotiating table. Plus, together the two jurisdictions could shape global standards with a successful agreement. thewirereport.ca/2026/03/20/can…

The online safety advisory group is expected to build on a revised version of C-63, according to members. The group was reconvened last week by @MarcMillerVM, who I'm told wants to focus on AI and social media age restrictions. thewirereport.ca/2026/03/19/gov…

As Ottawa dances around the timeline for its forthcoming online harms bill, @MichelleRempel reminds the feds there is another option on the docket -Bill C-216. Plus, she told me where the opposition is willing to play ball on a "non-partisan issue."
Maria Collins@makcollins

Sure, @MarcMillerVM's been at his post for less than 3 months, but it has been nearly 5 years since we've seen the first draft of an online harms legislation. Yet we still do not have a bill we're working towards, and advocates are still waiting for Ottawa to act.
