The question of Brazilian tourist visas has raised a debate between the country’s top officials. While the Tourism Minister sees visa regulations as a way to boost the economy, the Foreign Minister stands by tradition.
Like his predecessor José Serra, new Foreign Minister Aloysio Nunes believes Brazil’s visa regulations should be reciprocal. Meaning, Brazil should require tourist visas from countries who do so for Brazilians. However, Tourism Minister Marx Beltrăo sees economic growth as more important than diplomatic standards.

Do you have any more details? I'm actually planning on going to Brazil in late November (I currently have no visa), and would certainly appreciate avoiding the considerable consulate hassle.

I'd be very surprised if this goes live before Thanksgiving weekend (in the US), but I've been surprised from time to time.

FWIW.......any Brasilian with a currently valid US visa or an expired one within the last 5 years can now apply for an ETA to enter Canada.
It's done online, and if you're good to go, you get approved in 30 seconds.
My inIaws did this a few months ago and my brother in law recently entered Canada without issue. No word on whether or not the standard visa process for Canadians going the other way has changed however.
And there is no development yet on the US side either AFAIK.........sorry iahpdx.

So , doubt if Brazil will drop the current visa requirements for Canadians coming to Brazil.
Brazil's discussion on dropping visa requirements for select countries in the interest of tourism, not withstanding, of course.

Do we have to do it this way? I happen to live very near a consulate that has always been easy to deal with and quick. Are they going to do away with visas in person altogether? (I'd rather shop for most things brick and mortar too, LOL) Minority opinion, I know.
