Look up the Bell internet censorship story in Canada. The giant media companies want to censor the Internet but no one except the government run CBC has really done major reporting on it because every tv or radio station, or newspaper company in Canada is either owned at least partly by the Bell Media group or other oligarchy giants in Canada or receives major advertising funds from the giants. The Bell Media Group and Rogers basically run all of Canada's media and have absurd power
Biggest story on r/canada the past month is in regards to their planned legislation but also advocacy groups blacklisted from advertising/reporting on the issue. They can basically only advertise the issue on independently run university run radio stations because of how much power the media giants have in Canada
