Screw the CRTC and their Witch Hunt!
^^ That. And screw the CRTC for threatening to make Netflix illegal, therefore cutting off credit card payments inside Canada.
60% of Canadians now subscribe to Netflix, whereas many Canadians are dropping their TV cable. You can't legislate poor business models!
And the CRTC has no right nor use to the Netflix subscriber base.
I guarantee you that if this stands then a landlside of regulations will follow.

The CRTC has a hard on for trying to shove Canadian content down our throats, screwing with Netflix will inspire more people to illegally download what they want.
So the CRTC is trying to use a clever ruse in order to implement government regulation of the internet.

You can see where they want to go, just from one quote in that story.
"Netflix's kind of late-1990s view of the internet as some unregulatable space was dragged into the 21st century and was put on notice," said Carleton University journalism professor Dwayne Winseck, who characterized Wright's appearance as "theatre."
"The CRTC has a Broadcasting Act to live up to and Netflix ... has to have a respectful conversation in that light."
It is unregulatable. If they try to maintain the Cable companies monopoly for them, as Brah says, people will just download what they want or use a proxy that makes it look like they are in the US, and screw regulation.
I don't want to sit through 40% crappy content just because it is Canadian. I am already more inclined to watch Canadian content because I can relate to it.
Fuck the CRTC for trying to control the message.
Want to get people watching more Canadian programs? Make them worth watching. Simple.
Ya serve shit, people are gonna go to a different buffet.
The truly ironic thing anymore is that so much US programming and entertainment is produced in Canada by Canadians...yet the CRTC doesn't consider any of that to be Canadian content.
Why would they?
Just because you bag a Washington potato in BC doesn't make it Canadian.

What if it was a Washington potato grown in BC by born and raised BC potato farmers?

It would need a passport, dual citizenship and be charged 40% duty.
I haven't subscribed to television since 2011 and all I watch is Hulu and US Netflix.
