Canadian Music is in Danger
This is nothing new.
That is exactly why the CanCon regulations were created in the first place - to prevent Canadian music from being completely steamrolled by the US music industry juggernaut.
What a hugely important message. At a time when our sovereignty is being challenged by American imperialism, we are not going to survive by slashing one of our most important public institutions for short-term gain. I’m not even sure what there would be to gain, anyway.
I’m consuming as much Cryptopsy as I can… What else do you want me to do?!
Wish I could watch and see what specifically the video is about, but unfortunately on the bus and left my earbuds at home :(
In any case, not to self-promote, but I made this community little bit ago that I hope will help things out: https://lemmy.ca/c/maplemusic
Subscribed! I’ll try and post some local artists when I have the time. Is music in French cool too, or do you want the focus to be more on English?
Either is fine! I’ve posted I think one French song to date. Think it would be a good idea to tag it as Francophone however. Might add it to the sidebar to tag French music, but might give it more thought since while I do want to give attention to Francophone music, I also don’t want things working the other way where people are purposely ignoring Francohpone music and musicians.
Awesome, subscribed.
I adore CBC. I can’t and won’t live without them.
In the morning I awake to CBC radio and continue throughout my commute.
I then listen to The Current as I press into my day.
I listen to the news on my way home. I’ll pickup Front Burner, the National and Marketplace.
I edify my mind and soul with CBC ideas in the evening. Nahlah Ayed is my celebrity crush.
I entertain myself with the debaters, hockey night in Canada, quirks and quarks.
I get my Music from CBC Radio 3 mostly, but Marvin’s room and Afterdark are there too.
I can think of no other institution more important to myself and the country than the CBC.
