@ianbetteridge Her assessment is also a wild mischaracterization of what the Canadian law requires (and which Google has acceded to in the meantime, while Meta still has not), and I suspect you know that and that Roth does too. That a Trump official would be dishonest about it is hardly surprising.

CanCon, for instance, has been a requirement of terrestrial Canadian radio and TV for decades; the MPAA, FCC, and RIAA remain unfussed, while it offers incredibly valuable space and access to homegrown artists. Every English-speaking country in a US-tilted orbit has such things because the gravitational pull of American culture is inescapable. These are not controversial demands, unless the ask is for a complete surrender of your cultural sovereignty.
