Bossing around entities on the internet to give special treatment to your niche causes is the new thing, is what everyone all of a sudden is giving themselves laws to do.
It just has such limits, pushing other people around to give yourself favor. How is the internet supposed to keep on, when every nation demands their pound of flesh, their personal asks?
In Canada the only unique thing here is the “on the Internet” component of your sentence. Canada has been bullying business of all sorts into all sorts of things under the guise of “culture” for decades. Apparently our culture is so weak that it can’t stand up on its own and needs the entire edifice of government to prop it up.
It's interesting to me that I live reasonably close to the Canadian border on the US side and yet literally the only Canadian media I know of is Trailer Park Boys / Letterkenny.
Though, i'd argue it has nothing to do with the fact that they should be taxed appropriately in Canada. It replaces revenue from TV distribution that was appropriately taxed. Similar discussion to whether we should tax robots labour i think.
Also, I think countries have the right to promote their own culture. That might be hard to see from the POV of the country who's culture is slowly boulderizing that of the rest of the planet.
