The Bard exclusion isn’t due to the news thing; it’s due to Canada having privacy laws and a privacy watchdog that actually pays attention. If Google expanded to Canada, they’d have to answer a bunch of questions it appears they’d rather avoid.

I was under the impression that the EU has pretty strict privacy laws and oversight. Is Canada stricter?

Not strict enough. Should be better we need a GDPR

The Canadian privacy watchdog does things? I doubt bard is any more data invasive than meta platforms and they get a pass..
