We appear to be standing our ground!

Not my preferred choice of source but NatPo has more detail than some of the alternatives I saw. It includes some numbers as well as comments about the difference between Meta's and Google's approaches. Hint: they're not the same, so there's already cracks in the effort to make an example out of Canada.

I mean, I can't seem to be against this. So, good? I guess people who solely get their news from here will get further pulled into American news spheres and will need to make more of an effort to view Canadian news. Let's be honest, majority of people won't do that. Let's see though.

Those people are just incidentally being exposed to news articles that their social minders are specifically selecting to manipulate them. They aren't really going there to consume news, it's just a thing that happens to them when they are there. I think that anyone who is actively consuming news and for some reason has not gone elsewhere will be strongly encouraged to finally do so...
