It's a big topic right now in Canada.

Pre-Elon Twitter compared Canada's proposed regulations to North Korea and China.

>Newly released documents reveal Twitter Canada told government officials that a federal plan to create a new internet regulator with the power to block specific websites is comparable to drastic actions used in authoritarian countries like China, North Korea and Iran.

I googled it and found Bill C-11. Not going to dig deeper into it and confirm details, but maybe you didn't hear about it for a reason?

Thanks, I'm not living in .ca at the moment. I do believe Canadians appreciate their Internet freedom.
