Bravo, Canada!! Stand up for yourself!! Canada is mulling a plan to impose tax on internet giants such as Google, Facebook and Netflix in a bid to protect its cultural sector, which authorities say has been left behind from the benefits of the digital economy. ... Facebook, Netflix, Spotify, YouTube, Google and other online firms have been able to offer services and sell online advertising in Canada without any obligation to operate within the regulated broadcast system. Those companies produce content outside Canada and are not obliged to pay into the arts fund to support Canadian programming, neither are they required to fulfill a quota of Canadian content on air as it is the case for Canadian broadcasters.

What is the 'cultural sector'? There are two quite different meanings of the word 'culture'. It's important to be clear on this.
France subsidizes its film industry to protect its culture from Hollywood imports. When the US set up a military base in Iceland, the Icelandic authorities demanded the Americans stop broadcasting a TV signal for those living at the base, so they had to switch to cable. This was a time before cable was a big thing. "Some Icelanders feared the cultural influence of American soldiers and dependents on Icelandic life... American TV at the base was once available to Icleanders, but the opposition to it was such that cable TV was installed on the base."

Interesting......... I would prefer to see Canada cooperate with Australia and Israel and set in motion a rejuvenation of films and books produced here........ by coming up with a plan to defeat the public plans to devalue the USA Petro- dollar. The further left we go politically... the higher the degree of anti-American sentiment...... Canadian conservatives tend to be very pro-America...... and we tend to NOT want to see the USA dollar devalued. I do think though that drastic action may be required to prevent the Petro- dollar from falling. Jubilee 2018, Unified Field Theory of M.W.P's, opening gambit Australia. M. P. Bill Casey... President Trump has a 4.3 trillion dollar problem....
And Canadians from Quebec tend to despise Hollywood and regard it as a huge threat to their language and culture. English speaking Canadians tend to look at the whole subject quite differently.
Wow!!!! If...... American culture was to take a swing toward conservatism....... I believe that the dislike for Hollywood would decrease in many nations. American culture tends to obsess too much with violence... and sex. https://www.near-death.com/experiences/notable/howard-storm.html#a04
Violence and sex is a typical Jewish trait. Just look at the situation in Palestine. Look at Hollywood... in Jewish hands. The porn industry wholly Jewish. Look at the media... same scenario. Look at the banking system.... ditto. Look at American politicians and politics.... totally under Jewish influence. Ariel Sharon, Israeli PM, said: We control America. He wasn't lying! You, Mr. Tate, seem to be in dire need of some education! Instead of promoting Israel and Jewish influence in the US and Canada, you should enlighten the North-American people about the danger of Zionism. Here is a nice article for YOU to read, absorb and think about: The Truth About Zionism and America http://www.jesus-is-savior.com/False Doctrines/Zionism/truth.htm Or my favorite one: A Jewish Defector Warns America: http://www.sweetliberty.org/issues/israel/freedman.htm
