A long overdue CRTC review of the Canadian content rules has begun.

The outcome will affect music, radio, and both audio and video streaming.

Before 1970 , there wasn’t much of a music industry in Canada compared with many other countries.

The rules for radio went into effect on Jan. 18, 1971 , but no Cancon review has been done in the age of streaming.

Canada has produced many, many superstar producers, including Bob Ezerin (Pink Floyd, Kiss, Alice Cooper ), Bob Rock (Metallica, Aerosmith , Bon Jovi ), Garth Richardson (Rage Against the Machine , Chevelle , Rise Against ) and Gavin Brown ( Three Days Grace, Billy Talent , Mother Mother) Shouldn’t their contributions be recognized as a part of a song’s Canadianness?.
