The 15% “TAX” headline is COMPLETE LIE. A misrepresentation - READ THE ARTICLE. It is NOT a TAX but a requirement that streamers spend 15% of Canadian revenue to PURCHASE or CREATE CANADIAN CONTENT. This is a Canadian content law. NOT A TAX.
But, I stream the red green show every day.
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).
Canada is good about supporting local artists. I love that local artists must be played on the radio.
Can we also add a surcharge so I never have to see an ad again?
Send me 50¢ per day and I’ll share a link to ublock origin?
The Canadian tuxedo would have gone extinct if it wasn’t for this law.
Would that include Stargate SG-1? It was all filmed in Canada.
On that theme, MacGyver too.
Oi you have a streamy license?
Rest of the world needs to do this too.
…and a 25% tarrif like our steel and aluminum.
Reciprocity.
Elephant in the room is who has recently bought up a bunch of streaming services ;)
