Then keep blocking. There is no reason to set a precedent for one country saying what can and can not be linked without compensation. The blocking was done voluntarily by Alphabet and Meta and helps break up the monopoly they have on people's screen time.

It has to start somewhere though and the precedent was already set by Australia and Canada is totally free to force Meta to obey Canadian laws if it wants to offer its services in Canada and that means that the government absolutely can tell them "If you want to operate in Canada you have to allow your users to share Canadian media content."
