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.

Not really. France did the same and we were flooded with the lowest tier crap ever because of that law: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toubon_Law

There is no solution to that problem though.

...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.

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).

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
