"Since US streamers entered Canada a decade ago, they have consistently raised their prices on Canadian subscribers, year after year. Make no mistake, this will continue regardless of any government action. The question we must ask is should US streamers, who’ve made tens of billions from Canadian audiences, also be required to invest in Canadians telling Canadian stories?"

Unifor is condemning the federal government’s plan to gut the Online Streaming Act and eliminate contribution requirements for foreign streaming services.
This decision puts Canadian media jobs, local news and Canadian content at risk.

The federal government is planning to gut the Online Streaming Act and remove all funding requirements for American streamers.
This is a devasting blow to Canadian news media as that funding was set to create $2 billion for our media ecosystem.

Local news matters. Exempting U.S. streaming giants from supporting Canada’s media system puts journalism jobs and community news at risk. Unifor is urging the government to reconsider.

This is a disaster from the Lib Govt. Our Canadian stories & our sovereignty should not be a bargaining chip. More jobs will be lost and our voice will be weakened with this decision. @CRTCeng #savelocalnews #CRTC #CDNMedia #CulturalSovereignty unifor.org/news/all-news/uni…

MAP and @UniforTheUnion are very concerned by the Canadian government's order to review CRTC decisions which supported local news.
CRTC would have created $2 billion in funding for Canadian content while reducing the burden on our producers.
