Friend of mine here in the bay area is French Canadian and his teenagers (both full Americans born here) both watch and follow French Canadians on TikTok, Instagram and YouTube.
He explained to me that under Canadian law, absolutely none of that is Canadian Content or Culture. No subsidies, no quotas. Even a Denis Villeneuve movie isn't either.
He explained to me that to watch original content in French he has to VPN in Canada to be allowed to watch content that's only produced in Canada for French Canadians; they won't even make the smallest attempt at exporting it.
Honestly the whole concept, to me, is bizarre.
