Global National: Sept. 1

The Canadian federal government released new draft regulations on Friday for its proposed Online News Act, which asks tech companies to compensate the media outlets they link to online. Plus, as tens of thousands of people standby waiting to hear when they’ll be able to return home in the Northwest Territories, officials in the territory are preparing for what’s being called an “extreme wind event” this weekend. And Quebec’s new rules for online short-term rental platforms came into effect today. The province brought in a new law, and new fines, after seven people were killed in a massive fire in March. They were in a building in Old Montreal that contained several illegal Airbnbs.
