I mean, they’re going to make us pay it in the end so maybe this will keep the price down a bit? Right?!
Some of the CRCT rules I don’t really agree with. I had the radio on when Ozzy Osbourne died and they couldn’t play 100% Ozzy because a certain % had to be Canadian content… So I went to YouTube.
I can’t tell if that’s sarcasm or not, but cultural protectionism is in a way anti-progress, it sequesters cultural ideas to be almost ‘stuck in time’. But let’s be real, Canadian artists, while talented, haven’t really been backed by the government to push beyond the North American market, or even beyond its own nation’s borders. Look at K-pop and all of what South Korea has managed. It’s clear that language isn’t really the barrier - but rather what companies and governments are willing to back and put money where it matters.

If we didn’t have those rules Canadian artists wouldn’t get a chance! It’s the way scale economies work. We need to protect our own economy.
Protect our economy but sell every business to Americans at the drop of a hat.
