This week on SyrupDrop, Jessica Vomiero and Rose Behar focus on two major Canadian stories, beginning with the differential pricing hearing held by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC).
The duo delves into whether the process of differential pricing — or ‘zero-rating’ as it’s often known — is in the best interest of consumers. Next on the docket, Jessica and Rose discuss the Quebec’s police admission to monitoring journalists’ phones in 2013. Did the police impinge upon journalistic freedom?
