This Week in Canada: We Want More of America’s Money, Please
The Canadian government has mandated that American streaming companies contribute 15 percent of their Canadian revenue to support local media. This decision aims to bolster culturally significant programming, including French-language and indigenous content. Critics question the definition of 'Canadian culture' and the implications of expanding the CRTC's authority over online platforms.
- ▪The CRTC has announced a 15 percent revenue contribution requirement for American streaming services operating in Canada.
- ▪This ruling is part of a broader effort to support local media and cultural programming.
- ▪The Online Streaming Act, introduced in 2023, aimed to align online broadcasters with traditional Canadian broadcasting regulations.
