There is a mounting problem in Canada with CBC and public funds funding productions we can never see or are delayed/pay walled.
Movies that are 100% paid by public money are not available to see anywhere, after a short theater release. Even if you are willing to pay for it.
I fear the result is that the public funding will dry up completely, shutting down an entire industry. That would be a big cultural loss, just because they manage the funds so badly. Fund projects people actually want to watch. Fund more diverse works. And make the damned product available to the population that paid for it.
