🇨🇦 Ottawa’s Cancon racket just became a 15 percent shakedown

The absurd part is they call this cultural sovereignty while handing an unelected regulator the power to make everything pricier and less stable. The CRTC just tripled the levy on Netflix, Disney+ and Amazon Prime from 5 to 15 percent of Canadian revenue, and Poilievre is right to call it what it is: a consumer tax dressed up in maple syrup. As reported, he warned Carney that this Liberal masterpiece could trigger U.S. retaliation against steel, autos, aluminum and lumber. Brilliant strategy: poke Washington to subsidize the same domestic media class that spent a decade laundering Trudeau-era propaganda.

This is the globalist managerial state in miniature: overregulate, inflate prices, provoke trade risk, then sermonize about identity. Canadians are already crushed by housing costs, taxes and population-growth insanity, and Ottawa’s answer is to make a night on the couch more expensive so bureaucrats can fund approved content. Carney’s crowd talks sovereignty while making Canada costlier, weaker and easier to push around.
