A new law that seeks to give Canadian artists a leg up online has left many influencers and tech giants alike seeing red.
They took out subway ads, they posted TikToks, but in the end, the score was Silicon Valley-0, Ottawa-1.
After many twists and turns, and over two-and-a-half years of review, the Canadian government has passed a new law that makes tech giants like YouTube and TikTok support Canadian cultural content.
A pox on both their houses YouTube is Orwellian and Trudeau’s Liberals are Woke Stalinists.
“Content creators” fear both being included in the government’s planned forced diet of CanCon which will relegate them to a digital Ghetto, and to a lesser extent being excluded as not Canadian “enough” by the CRTC’s annointed “God’s Of All CanCon.” I plan to continue ignoring CanCan as I have always done. Let’s face it with rare exceptions most of it is unpalatable government agenda swill.
I will now reveal an ugly personal truth: Overplay due to CanCon destroyed virtually all pleasure derived from listening to Gordon Lightfoot’s music.
