This is missing my point, because you are reducing the content to a mindless product of consumption.
The point of promoting and prioritizing Canadian content is not financially motivated. It is politically motivated.
The point is to safeguard free speech and the right to be heard of Canadians within Canadian society.
That means that first nations should have a proportional spot in broadcasts. If they represent 5% of all Canadians, then all broadcast should include 5% of their speech, ideas, and culture, which let their voices, opinions, values, morales, and heritage be spoken and heard through the content, be it news media, opinion pieces, talk shows, stories, etc.
