The Online Streaming Act, also known as Bill C-11, was passed by the federal government in April 2023 to require streaming platforms to contribute and support Canadian content, something that traditional broadcasters (think TV and radio) are already required to do under the 1991 Broadcasting Act, sometimes referred to as CanCon.

LOL. Yeah, I'd pass this cost onto my customers too. Don't like it? Vote different next time.

What exactly does this mean for the streaming platforms? They have to feature Canadian crap or is it just a money grab from leafs so they can funnel it to MAID and the raking of leafs?

It's a money grab but is probably going towards CBC more than MAID.

Theoretically it's a money grab to fund the production of Canadian art so it can compete with better funded American conent.

That said, almost everything getting money from this funding is garbage and no one watches/listens/reads any of it until there's no other option.
