I'm old enough to remember when CanCon was brought in to broadcast TV and radio. Lots of business owners whined loudly about having to not import cheap second-hand culture from foreign places and how it cut in to their personal wealth generation capacity. There was a bit of a rough transition (cough Beachcombers cough) but eventually the investment paid off with interest.
I wouldn't resent a cultural development fee. It helps maintain a virtual wall across the southern border to protect our delicate assets.

- dblohm7 6y agoTry Nickelback! Shudder
- bregma 6y agoThat was the argument used 50 years ago. It hasn't been true for about 40 years. Unless your genre is "American pop artists" or maybe "Italian renaissance original instruments".
- dblohm7 6y agoReally? Because all I hear on my local rock station is Nickelback.
