So if they don't reigister they will be breaking the law and be punished in some form.
And if in the future they decided a podcast no longer needs to exists they willl revoke that 'license' thus giving the government control over a sector of the press. The article mentions no mechanism for this but if you can grant a license it implies the ability to retract it.
This is a terrible idea, allowing the government to pick and choose who gets make money off podcasts.
And what does the public get for this "service"? A canadian podcast directory of podcasts that make more then 10 million annually. Loss of freedom of press for a service they didn't ask for and dont really need. As a side "benefit" this will likely force all podcasts who are popular to relocate to the states, as why take the risk that the next election could end your career.
Canadians can do what that want, I will not dictate what they should do, but I will judge them severely if they allow their government to do this. This is a terrible idea that will only lead to pain and suffering.
The Trudeau government’s recently passed Online Streaming Act is moving into its next phase of regulation by requiring podcasters to register with the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC).
The government claims the regulation will “ensure online streaming services make meaningful contributions to Canadian and Indigenous content.”
But critics worry the move is just the Liberal government’s latest attempt to control what Canadians are able to see and hear online

By "opposition political parties", do you mean subversive organizations bent on the destruction of Canada's precious democracy? If it means the threat of Domestic Violent Extremism(tm) will be ended and these Russia-linked fascists will pay for their crimes, then the answer is--hopefully--very soon.

Canada is a slave nation. Their citizens don't have a say in any of this.

He is absolutely loathed up here except for a small minority of purple haired nut jobs.
The libs will have to openly cheat their way to win the next election which will cause a revolt. Honk honk.
Somebody should propose banning Trudeau, and any state funded censors off social media. It's only fair
Insane attack on free speech.
