It sounds cruel and unusual to torment the population with Nickelback and Justin Bieber.

Are those considered Canadian content? Correct me if I am wrong, Bieber’s music is produced in the US.

  It depends. There's a set of criteria called the MAPL system. it stands for Music, Artist, Performance, Lyrics. If 2 of those 4 things are Canadian then it's considered Canadian content. So if Bieber sings lyrics that he wrote despite being recorded in LA with music by a non-Canadian then its Canadian Content and the radio station can put it towards the quota. There is a similar system for film/TV where having a Canadian director, lead actors, writers,etc gets a certain amount of points and so on.

  It is. According to the government, Justing Bieber signing about “Georgia Peaches” and consuming drugs in California counts as Canadian Music and Culture (he was born in Canada). It's interesting to consider Justin Bieber's houses right here in California were purchased in part with Canadian government subsidies [0].

  A lot of those artists don’t count as Canadian content because the producer was American. Musician Bryan Adams has been a vocal opponent of CanCon rules since the 1990s, and it’s largely due to the fact that the federal government keeps ruling that his songs aren’t actually Canadian. https://nationalpost.com/news/extremely-canadian-media-that-ottawa-doesnt-consider-cancon/wcm/4ddb8bd9-0c3f-42e5-b070-3e58955a639d/amp/ https://nationalpost.com/news/extremely-canadian-media-that-...
