I think that's going to be the key here, how do you define "Canadian content" in terms of internet broadcast. Does this mean the government will be hand picking which content and producers count as Canadian? If standards are set, will they favor certain content producers with ties to the government. Right now the law is extremely vague and seems like it's tilted towards helping Canada's legacy media rather than small Canadian creators like Canadian youtube producers.

Ir would be indefensible for the government to pick people. It didn’t do that before on TV so why would it do that now ? Quota laws are not that rare outside of the US. They were used in France to rebuild the National cinema. There is no trend for the government to do what you’ve described, and they do is they create a positive loop between the distributors and content creators so more local content is produced and shown.
