Canadian Regulator Threatens To Impose New Netflix Regulation
An anonymous reader writes: Netflix appeared before the Canadian broadcast regulator today, resulting in a remarkably heated exchange, with threats of new regulation. The discussion was very hostile — the CRTC repeatedly ordered Netflix to provide subscriber information and other confidential data. As tempers frayed, the Canadian regulator expressed disappointment over the responses from a company that it said "takes hundreds of millions of dollars out of Canada." The CRTC implicitly threatened to regulate the company by taking away its ability to rely on the new media exception if it did not cooperate with its orders.
No it doesn't.
Canada blows, Mexico sucks.
That's why the prevailing winds in North America are north to south......
Donald Trump, on a crusade to make Nixon look respectable
It just proves so called Canadian culture, art, music sucks and cannot stand on it own two feet. Canada would rather have American culture than its own shitty home grown crap.
Hell yeah! Why would they want to see Canadian movies when they could be watching films with good, ole AMERICAN actors like Dan Ackroyd, Raymond Burr, John Candy, Neve Campbell, Jim Carrey, Michael Cera, James Doohan, Nathan Fillion, Michael J. Fox, Matt Frewer, Lorne Greene, Corey Haim, Phil Hartman, Tricia Helfer, Michael Ironside, Margot Kidder, Eugene Levy, Eric McCormack, Norm McDonald, Rick Moranis, Carrie-Anne Moss, Mike Myers, Leslie Neilsen, Catherine O'Hara, Sandra Oh, Tahmoh Penikett, Christopher Plummer, Seth Rogen, William Shatner, Martin Short, Jewel Staite, Donald Sutherland... Heck, that's half the cast of almost every Comedy or SF film ever made.
All Canada has is Justin Bieber and Nickleback.
Why doesn't Canada just take justin beiber back, call it even?
Unless the USA restores him to the condition in which he was originally received, they're going to have to forfeit their damage deposit.
