Bill C-18 has had unintended, but detrimental effects on both the public relations profession and its clients and the real losers are small businesses, the arts, non-profits, and the communities they support.

Good article Theodora. There are definitely some unintended consequences, and you've explained them well.

Theo, this is a thoughtful piece. The "issue behind the issue" is a government that does not understand business and fails to think through the risks of its populist interventions. They slap arbitrary taxes on banks, which of course drive higher lending costs and user fees. They demand action plans from grocers to lower prices, without addressing all the other factors driving inflation. And they epically misread the economic incentives and value exchange between the media sector and the major tech platforms. Your conclusion is correct: the bill needs a rethink, as does this approach to governing that sees business as an adversary, not a partner.
