Canada-U.S. trade deal may force rollback of streaming and news laws, experts warn

A pending Canada-U.S. trade deal includes a "digital trade alignment" clause, says U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer. Experts including OpenMedia's Matt Hatfield and BlackBerry veteran Jim Balsillie warn it could force Canada to roll back its streaming and news laws and limit future rules on data, privacy and tech platforms. Ottawa already cancelled its tax on digital services to help the talks along.
