I hate to say this but Facebook is 100% correct on this one. This is crony capitalism and backroom deals at its finest.
I don’t know how Canadians keep electing Trudeau. Is the tribalism so strong that liberal voters cannot see the dangerous direction their government is headed? Sadly, Canada is further down the Road to Serfdom than the US (intentional reference).
God, Trudeau is such an annoying weasel. A less mature me would say he has a punchable face, but I’m not going to say that here.
C18 was ill advised and poorly designed as you point out. It will destroy the small, independent organizations. With Substack some will have a chance. I joined FP the first day I heard about the paywall going up. And now seeing Tait, the head of the CBC, calling out for criminal investigations of on line posts bemoaning the lack of capability and complete partisanship in our MSM "reporters" I am kind of happy that this will hurt the big players. And I will selectively support the smaller Substack entities.
The government chose this path. This is the Canada they want. Unfortunately for them Facebook and Google don't want to pay for it. I suggest support your local news directly.
Douglas Murray nailed it.

Welcome to the People's Republic of Canada.
Trudeau and Putin have more in common than many think.
Here’s a news story on our website, but you can’t post a link to it.
How does that make sense?
