Not really a good analogy because Walmart mostly purchases goods to resell them1, while Facebook does not purchase news. Even so, if Walmart suddenly stopped selling Canadian goods it could lead to a lawsuit too. CBC is not trying to force Facebook to accept CBC links, it’s about all Canadian outlets.

RSS still exists.
I’d love to live in a world where you’re right, but can you point out any evidence that ditching social media and favouring RSS would work out well for the CBC? Like any similar media company (in scope or size) that had a successful experiment?

Nothing pisses me off as much as banking in Canada nowadays. Good on Scotiabank for grabbing Tangerine, looking forward to Wealthsimple implementing real credit.
