I rambled. Want to thank @mgeist for giving me the opportunity. "Culture" and "Innovation" in this country are broken. Not unfixable though.

Has the government killed the proverbial goose that laid the golden egg on cultural support? Millions lost from TikTok, Netflix, Meta, Spotify, Disney and others due largely to Canadian policy. @SwBenzie returns to the @lawbytespod podcast to discuss.

1/3 Among other things I work A LOT in Canadian Media events. I work A LOT on funding Canadian Content. Netflix is essentially out, TikTok is out META out, Prime, Disney etc out. All as a direct result of the CDN Government and how they went about "negotiating" with them.

Can't even pick up the phone @melaniejoly ? Minister of Innovation? Minister of Industry?

TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew wrote Industry Minister Mélanie Joly a letter requesting an urgent in-person meeting to discuss the government’s ordered shutdown of TikTok Canada — but his request has so far gone unanswered.

Canada's best Cultural export has entered the chat. This is not the way forward. @melaniejoly Canada's cultural entrepreneurs are not happy. This is not the way.

Weeks after weeks of hearings, demand after demand for ‘meaningful contributions’. But I guess when that meaningful contribution doesn’t land directly in their pockets, it doesn’t count. Disgusting. Just disgusting. #c11 ctvnews.ca/entertainment/…
