Bill C-18 has rolled out across the nation, and it could be changing how and where you get your news.
The Bill included a section that's referred to as a "Link Tax" which would charge two companies, Google and Meta for hosting news on their services.
Neither company wants to pay, so they've opted to block all Canadian news media from their platforms.
News companies have had Facebook pages for some time, being able to post stories, updates, or any content to promote or advertise their company, but even that will be blocked as these companies move ahead with this decision.
You may notice that the 730 CKDM Facebook page has been affected by this issue, and we're working hard to get our page back up and running in some fashion.
So long as this decision from Meta, or Bill C-18 stays in place you won't be seeing any Canadian news on Facebook, but you can still find all the latest news right here, or by tuning in hourly to 730 CKDM until 6 pm to stay up-to-date on the latest news in the parkland.
To read more about the state of Canadian news on Facebook, here's a link to the official statement on the site.
Be sure to stay tuned to 730 CKDM on your dial, and on the website to keep up with this development as it unfolds!
