The bill will allow the government to nominate what content will be more likely to come up in recommended content - it doesn't empower them at all to specifically ban content in any manner they can't today. As for that power - it can lead to bias but I'm pretty alright with it, it's likely going to be used to both stifle the organic spread of false information (i.e. anti-vax, flat earthers etc...) and it'll also likely be used to favor content that's supportive of the current administration (so if Harper got back into power it'd likely not include pro-climate change content). I think this is a pretty acceptable trade off when it comes to stumble-upon content - but all the content not endorsed by the system wouldn't be banned or removed. The biggest downsides for me are the possible difficulty adhering to the guidelines for smaller platforms. I enjoy nebula and it's possible if unlikely that they may be forced to exit the market as a result of this bill - but bear in mind that any inherently Canadian content creators should be able to easily argue their adherence to the guidelines even if the CRTC tries to shut them down.
