Digital policy did not play a major role in the recent federal election, but the new Mark Carney Liberal government is quickly going to face a wide range of digital-related policy questions. This week’s Law Bytes podcast examines the short, medium and longer term issues including the future of the digital services tax, Canadian digital sovereignty, and the fate of legislation that did not make it past the finish line in the last Parliament.

“Fascinating discussion about Canada’s digital policy challenges under the new government! While they navigate complex issues like digital sovereignty, I’ve found cookingdom to be a wonderful digital escape – its stress-free approach to virtual cooking mirrors how we need thoughtful, patient solutions in the digital policy space too. Great podcast episode!”
I love how Speed Stars starts off simple enough for newcomers, but gradually introduces complex tuning systems and tough opponents.
Good episode! Staying informed about how the incoming government will handle digital policy is critical, especially as digital sovereignty and taxation become increasingly important. Looking forward to these topics’ development!
