This is a Canadian bill and the party in power are (relatively) progressive and (definitely) democratic, though they are to the right of the American progressives and to the left of the American Democratic Party. More to the point, they do not remotely own everything.

They are unlikely to pass it directly without changes though. They are a minority government, and the Conservatives have been backed by foreign actors in various capacities in election cycles and are a strong enough opposition that they'll resent the crackdown, and the leftists are generally not fans of the local telecom industry (or the Liberal pandering to industry in general) and will probably want either less protection for telecoms or more protection for individuals.
