I'm for it as long as they don't force Canadian content on users in Canada. I'm all for supporting Canadian artists, but radio in particular is fucking awful bc all they play is rush and metric ad nauseum to meet their content requirements

    You aren't wrong, with the caveat that Rush is awesome.

    Metric isn't bad, either.

    I admittedly haven't been a big radio listener for almost twenty years, but I saw a huge difference in ~1997 or so, when a lot of Canadian indie started getting airplay. I don't think we'd have Metric without CanCon requirements.
