While Bill C-18, the Online News Act, was designed with the aim of having social media companies take a more responsible role in how news is shared online, Facebook chose to ban news links entirely. This then had the unintended effect of elevating our ridiculous website to a position of godlike authority over the news that reaches Canadians’ eyes.

From here on out Facebook will have no more CBC News, no more CNN News, heck, no more Rebel News, and they’re way more fake than we’ve ever tried to be! Serves them right for calling themselves “news” instead of a “primarily online Canadian news satire publication”, which is what we technically are, which is why we’re now the only game in town!

WE CONTROL HOW YOU PLEBEIANS PERCEIVE THE WORLD!!! YOU CANNOT RESIST!!!

During the dumpster fire of President Florida man, Stephen Colbert made understanding news stories funny and informative. I have no problem with the Beaverton doing the same.
