When does this come into affect? When I search generic news I'm still getting back Canadian new sources like CBC.

Bill C-18 will come into force later this year. It requires regulatory provisions that will need to be formally published and consulted through The Canada Gazette etc.
This seems to be Meta & Google flexing and doing their worst to local media before the proposed regulations are published.
Here’s a CBC breakdown from last Friday.
Reacting to Google's announcement Thursday, Canadian Heritage Minister Pablo Rodriguez told CBC News conversations with the company are ongoing and the "clarity" it wants about the Online News Act will come as the government hammers out regulations.
Here’s the 44-1/C-18 information page for the Parliament of Canada.
Hopefully we change this law. Trying to charge people for links is incredibly bad. There is no need for any law. If the news sites want to get money for links they can just put all their articles behind a login gate and make them not scrapable.
They want to make an example of Canada... When companies have enough power to even think about trying and make an example out of a country then they need to be dismantled or, even better, nationalized because it means they're important enough to be considered utilities.
