Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC)
Today, the CRTC is advancing its regulatory plan to modernize Canada’s broadcasting framework and ensure online streaming services make meaningful contributions to Canadian and Indigenous content.
On May 12, 2023, the CRTC launched its first public consultations. After thoroughly examining all the evidence on the public record, including over 200 interventions, the CRTC is issuing its first two decisions.
First, the CRTC is setting out which online streaming services need to provide information about their activities in Canada. Online streaming services that operate in Canada, offer broadcasting content, and earn $10 million or more in annual revenues will need to complete a registration form by November 28, 2023. Registration collects basic information, is only required once and can be completed in just a few steps.
Second, the CRTC is setting conditions for online streaming services to operate in Canada. These conditions take effect today and require certain online streaming services to provide the CRTC with information related to their content and subscribership. The decision also requires those services to make content available in a way that is not tied to a specific mobile or Internet service.
A third consultation is ongoing. It considers contributions traditional broadcasters and online streaming services will need to make to support Canadian and Indigenous content. The CRTC will hold a three-week public proceeding starting on November 20, 2023, and will hear from 129 intervenors representing a broad range of interests.

UNSIPID
INSIPID.....Not paying attention...ooops
Sounds like a censorship/cancelation operation to me.
Creeping control over content-speech.
Do not believe for a second that users will not have their information submitted to the government. They will absolutely have their information submitted to the government.
“CRTC is advancing its regulatory plan”
Regulatory Plan? Regulatory Plan. Methinks I know their problem.
This is undoubtably Orwellian control.
Canada is way down the rabbit hole. Even worse than us.
50% of the tv content....

And
hockey and stories about growing hardy wheat.
Saying: It takes stones to start a career in curling.
We all need to pay attention. They are sneaking in digital cash instead of currency and requiring digital ID to go on-line. They want to persecute you for wrongthink.
Looks like government control for the common good... some calll it communism.
I briefly had a canadian webhost and found that they were censoring my emails I was sending to a relative of mine.
I contacted their support and they came across as proud that they were censoring.
The words? I called biden a pedophile.
When I removed the line the email went thru...
The Internet does not involve “the public airwaves” (RF spectrum/CRTC/FCC)...”online streaming services” should be exempt from govt. regulation like cable TV programming providers.
