Again , you live too much in your own bubble . Step out of it . People don ' t actually want to watch the world burn . You just think of them as those that do , because their actions often are seen as evil in your perspective . <| sep |> I know it ' s over now , but your election goes on for far too long . Isn ' t it 85 weeks ? Must be awful to lose after such a long effort . <| sep |> Shaun hill threw the first game . <| sep |> There ' s also a fucking Go Train that runs from Oshawa to Toronto every 30 mins on weekends . <| sep |> I think you ' re overlooking a fundamental difference between Netflix and broadcasters though in that I watch what I want , when I want from Netflix . They ' re not broadcasting the same program to all of their subscribers simultaneously . So even if you compel them to produce Canadian content , you ' ve got no way to make people watch it . Which is what we want , really . Conversely , in Netflix ' case that built in incentive to at least attempt to produce quality cancon doesn ' t really apply . Very good point . Even if they started carrying Canadian content produced by the CBC or someone else , nothing would compel people to watch it . Their other advantage lies in the wealth of analytics that their system gives them regarding viewing patterns and habits which would then let them quantify if they wanted to exactly how terrible Canadian content is , in excruciating statistical detail . It kind of sounds like we agree that Netflix shouldn ' t be compelled to do any of this , but at the very least if we ' re going to discuss the option we should not be trying to shoehorn anything into the broadcasting act . It ' s simply the wrong tool for the job . I agree . My main point which kind of got lost is that the fundamental basis underpinning the cancon rules need to be revised . You can ' t really coerce internet media into this , and even if you could you shouldn ' t . You can relax the rules for traditional broadcasters to level the playing field if you want , and I have no real problem with that . But going the other way and trying to expand the rules to include new media is not viable .
