I don't know the FCC but this case is exactly what the CRTC is supposed to be regulating. Netflix wants to get away without chipping into the pot for canadian content production ( that others have to pay ).

That's a very US centric view. We as Canadians have a different approach to government and how we want to build our society. We're more like european countries with Free School for all, Free Healthcare for all, lots of social services and support for our vulnerable population.

An aspect of this, is the government spending a LOT of money developing artists, book/movie production houses, etc. This conflict between Netflix and the CRTC is tied to that. Other broadcaster have to chip money into the pot for, yes, our socialist approach to fostering local arts. Many Canadians *support* this idea and we're not too fond of an American company trying to wreck the system of local content production.

As a Canadian, fuck American corporations who think they can just ignore our laws and sovereignty.

The world isn't the united states :P Some countries or regions run a much cleaner energy generation program that don't rely so heavily on coal.
