Liberals want to control what you watch online
New 'CanCon' requirements from the CRTC will try to dictate what you see on online streaming platforms
New regulations from the Liberal Government’s Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) are trying to apply ‘Canadian content’ (CanCon) requirements to online platforms like YouTube and Spotify.
What could this mean for your online experience?
Will content that the Government doesn’t designate as sufficiently ‘Canadian’ disappear from your streaming platforms? Could companies like Netflix decide to pull out of Canada altogether rather than try to comply with onerous requirements?
Host Kris Sims is joined by longtime journalist and former CRTC vice-chair Peter Menzies to discuss what it all means.

This just smacks of Communism. The CRTC and their Content Rules should have been closed years ago. If I am searching for a solution to something on You Tube, I want to be able to see real solutions regardless of where they originate. Canadian Content Laws are burdensome and dictatorial, and should not exist.
I just gets better and better with these A-HOLES by the day.
No offence meant to actually A-Holes as Liberals bring an entirely new meaning to that one.
These guys are truly dangerous abominations and these days I don't think the word abomination does them justice.
That of course goes for the trained Liberal seals who infest the CRTC as well.
An organization that should have died a long time ago but like all good Zombie movies refuses to do so while attempting to suck out your brains.
What is the next level above a total, complete and utter abomination?
