Comment: Before this deal, without any CanCon restrictions or broadcasting content rules, Netflix was arguably producing as much, if not more, top-quality Canadian content as any other broadcaster.

So what exactly are the CanCon rules meant to do?  Ensure more poor quality content that no one watches gets produced in addition to good stuff?  Because as far as I can tell that is all that they are accomplishing right now.  The broadcaster that need to follow CanCon rules have a small number of good Canadian TV shows that they bolster up with a bunch of short-lived, low-cost garbage to get over the quota.  Netflix doesn't have that quota so they don't bother with the garbage.  Is that a bad thing?
