The Trudeau Liberals in their 2023 Fall Economic Statement doubled newsroom rebates from a maximum $13,750 per employee to $29,750 amid calls for more subsidies. When Parliament first approved taxpayer handouts for the media in 2019, it did not produce any net job creation.
The Trudeau Liberals in their Fall Economic Statement last November 21 doubled newsroom rebates from a maximum $13,750 per employee to $29,750 amid calls for more taxpayer subsidies.
The expanded rebates propose to increase the cap on labour expenditures per eligible newsroom employee from $55,000 to $85,000. It further proposed that the Canadian journalism labour tax credit rate be temporarily increased from 25% to 35% for a period of four years.
“Trudeau is censoring those he disagrees with and trying to buy off the rest.”

I’m pretty sure Rebel News and True North News don’t get any bailout money.
Only a free and independent media will bring us real news stories like this. And main stream media will continue to smear and disparage them while covering for the government by not publishing the story or downplaying the implications for a democratic society.
