I never watched it growing up but everything I've heard about it since I was an adult is great. Never watched much skit comedy outside of kids on the hall and that's just when not much else was on.

Nowadays I'd say the kids in the hall stuff was much better than other stuff I watched, cause I'm not sure I even remember....some syndicated sitcom I assume, waiting for dinner.

Still recall some of the taglines as little as I saw it, since you were waiting for the next show (possibly Simpsons at one point on cbc).

One thing I like is that the revenue from these taxes go explicitly to the threatened industries. So the more that Canadians stream US works, the more money there is for Canadian tv, movies and radio to compete. Too often, income like this is directed into a general revenue stream, leaving the threatened industries with the same or even less resources to compete with.

...and a 25% tarrif like our steel and aluminum.

Reciprocity.

Yes, but no. Maybe we shouldn't have streaming cartels at all. Just focusing on enabling content creators wherever they may be, for the sake of the content. You'd be hard pressed to find less deserving less capable stewards of content, than the ones currently stewarding it.

Honestly I wouldn't care if content I make was shown for free to everyone in the world. As long as I had housing/health/food security and self determination. As would most creative people.

Continuum is another decent Canadian sci-fi thing. ReGenesis is also decent.

Send me 50¢ per day and I'll share a link to ublock origin?

On that theme, MacGyver too.

No, they will make more Canadian shows and earn revenue the same way.

or AND

FTFY

I remember Carney "parising" Trump on some show, not directly but just to the host, about how Trump's strategy of "flooding the zone" and calling that a good tactic or something. And then some months later, we gpt Bill C-2.

So I don't think it's impossible to say that they aren't learning from that.

Doesn't Canadian FM radio have a similar rule?

All Canadian broadcasters have always been required to contribute towards the creation of Canadian content.

All this is doing is making the American streamers who broadcast in Canada do the same thing.

Thier complaints are that Canada won't let them take all the profits out of the country.

They have a percentage of the content that needs to qualify as Canadian, in order to qualify as CanCon (Canadian Content), it needs to pass at least 2 of the 4 MAPL tests.

Music: Are a majority of the songwriters Canadian?
Artist: Is the performer Canadian?
Performance: Was it performed/recorded in Canada?
Lyrics: Were the lyrics written by a Canadian?

Because things like Radio only broadcast, and don't let you choose your own programming, by making them broadcast a certain percentage of Canadian Content, Canadians are already getting a certain percentage of their royalties; No additional fee needed.

When a Canadian act gets big enough, they often stop counting as CanCon. There was a time when Justin Bieber was popular but didn't count because he records songs written by non-Canadians while in the USA.
