I think the point is that they should provide x% of Canadian movies/tv shows and feature it in such a way that Canadian viewers are likely to watch it.

Have you ever personally experienced ... other jokes, at an anthropological field site?

Umm. So did the studier notice that they ask the subjects if they have ever experienced jokes at an anthropological field site?

So everytime someone says something about women being superior or smarter I am being sexually harassed?

Yes.
Well nothing is fool proof, but the likelihood of losing control of your gun better be pretty insignificant and inconsequential, or you are incompetent.

Yes, but then the cost of living in the city is subsidised by cheap food from the country, and from materials like wood, rock, and metal.

You would still need to subsidise. Businesses are only interested in providing a product when it is profitable, and it simple is not in rural locations to run 50 miles of cable for 3 guys.

So how is this going to effect rural Internet?
We do not get anywhere close to that, so are all of our substitutes going to disappear and half the country go dark?

They ... click on everything they receive, and take delight on sending their information to any Nigerian prince that contacts them, "just in case this one is true".

Your Relatives should not be on the Internet. Not only will they be scammed out of possibly every cent they have, but they are probably sending spam and viruses to all of us.

Well the vast majority of people make no use of physics or math to begin with, but even if we assume that the entire country is to be devoid of theses things, in a global economy like we have, as long as they have resources they can get any arms they want.
