Canada's Online Streaming Act is a thorn in the side of the U.S. administration. The law, passed in 2023, brings streaming platforms like Netflix, Paramount and Disney under Canada's broadcast regulations, and requires them to support and promote Canadian content. But the implementation of the law has been slow, and the regulator, the CRTC, has been taken to court by U.S. streaming platforms. Now, the Canadian government is asking the CRTC to back down on some of its funding requirements. Today, we speak with Barry Hertz, The Globe's deputy arts editor and film editor. He explains the holdups in getting the Online Streaming Act off the ground, the impact on the industry and how the minister in charge of this file defends his government's decision to push for a rollback on funding requirements for Canadian content. The edit of this episode now includes a clarification note from Netflix on Canadian revenue contributions. Questions? Comments? Ideas?

Carney just released his new 55-page strategy, “AI for All,” to much fanfare, over $2B in funding commitments, and…very few details on how he's going to accomplish any of it.Canadians were at the forefront of AI's creation, yet we're already falling behind in harnessing this revolutionary technology. But most of us aren't convinced that AI is safe: not for the environment, or the kids, or our personal privacy.

Alan Perry and guest co‑host Charles Martin, Victoria Mac & iOS Users Group Program Director, cover new scam alerts including fake Canada Groceries & Essentials Benefit texts, bogus Interac e‑Transfers, TD Direct phishing emails, and a dangerous document‑sharing scam. They also look at the federal review of the CRTC's 15% streaming levy, a July 13 deadline affecting Microsoft Office users, what to expect from Apple's WWDC keynote, rising UK ETA travel fees, updated international roaming options, and Walmart's launch of Walmart+ in Canada.

Mark Carney fends off accusations of driving Canada into a recession. What ordering the CRTC to back down over its 'Netflix tax' means for U.S. trade negotiations. And are some Liberal MPs chafing under Mark Carney's leadership style.Rosemary Barton hosts Chantal Hébert, Andrew Coyne and Althia Raj.

Marie, where many jobs depend on the steel industry;The federal government wants the CRTC to revisit a decision requiring foreign streamers to invest more in Canadian content.

U.S. President Donald Trump is back at it — announcing new tariffs. He says he's targeting countries for not cracking down on forced labour, including Canada. Prime Minister Mark Carney says new rules are in the works to strengthen Canada's enforcement regime.And: The 2026 FIFA World Cup won't just showcase the best in soccer — it will also feature the highest-level technology in the sport. Reporter Tanya Fletcher will have more on what that means for the games.Also: In a rare move, the federal government is asking Canada's radio and TV regulator to review a recent decision. Late last month, the CRTC announced hikes on fees that U.S. streaming giants have to pay into Canadian content. The move was slammed by tech giants and U.S. politicians.Plus: Canada's effort to combat forced labour, British protests over race and policing, CBS shakeup, and more.

Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture Marc Miller defends the move.

J.J. McCullough, a Canadian political commentator and YouTube creator, discusses the Carney government's sudden reversal on the CRTC's decision to triple how much it charges digital streaming companies. He examines how the controversial legislation—originally justified as promoting Canadian content—has devolved into a subsidy regime for established creators. McCullough argues that the government's decision to bypass CRTC online streaming fees and directly fund cultural programs raises questions about the Online Streaming Act's future amid trade tensions and consumer affordability concerns.The Hub is Canada's fastest growing independent digital news outlet.Subscribe to The Hub's podcast feed to get our best content when you are on the go:https://tinyurl.com/3a7zpd7e (Apple)https://tinyurl.com/y8akmfn7 (Spotify)Follow The Hub on X: https://x.com/thehubcanada?lang=enCREDITS:Amal Attar-Guzman - Producer and EditorSean Speer - Host Hosted on Acast.

Who is really controlling Canada — elected politicians, or unelected bureaucrats?In today's LeDrew Rant, Stephen argues that more and more decisions affecting Canadians' daily lives are being made not by voters or elected governments, but by bureaucrats, regulators, judges, and appointed boards with little direct accountability to the public.LeDrew points to several recent examples, including:The CRTC's new tax on streaming services like Netflix and Prime VideoCourt rulings affecting homelessness encampments and public transit projectsJudicial interventions in Ontario's bike lane policiesThe growing role of unelected agencies and regulatory bodiesAirport authorities and public infrastructure managementRising costs being passed directly to Canadian consumersThe rant also examines how governments increasingly defer controversial decisions to regulators, tribunals, courts, and appointed agencies — allowing politicians to avoid accountability while ordinary Canadians absorb the consequences through higher costs, delays, and declining public services.LeDrew argues that when judges and regulators move beyond interpreting laws and begin shaping public policy, Canadians have the right to question those decisions openly.The broader question at the center of this rant:Are Canadians slowly losing democratic control over the institutions that control their lives?

Read Full Transcript Welcome to The Buzz from ChannelBuzz.ca, I’m Robert Dutt, today is Wednesday, May 27th, and here’s what’s happening in the channel today. Yesterday, ASUS Canada announced the appointment of Vernon Coutinho as Country Manager for its System Business Group. The announcement, which came just ahead of the ASUS Business Summit in Toronto, reflects the company’s long-term growth ambitions in the Canadian commercial market. Coutinho, who brings nearly 30 years of industry experience, will oversee strategy and performance across consumer, gaming, and commercial segments. For Canadian MSPs, this signals a deepening of the ASUS partner ecosystem locally. The company is actively accelerating its focus on AI-ready commercial devices, bringing its consumer DNA into the workplace. According to ASUS, the goal is to elevate the business laptop experience by delivering devices that are secure, manageable, and enjoyable to use. Also on Tuesday, 7AI announced the availability of PLAID ELITE, a fully managed, AI-native security operations solution. The platform combines autonomous investigation by AI agents with expert oversight from 7AI security engineers, delivering a continuous, follow-the-sun security outcome. The company is positioning the tool as a way for organizations to protect their environments without needing to build or scale an internal operations team. What makes this relevant for the channel is the service model. Rather than relying entirely on human analyst shifts, PLAID ELITE’s coverage scales with investigation volume through agentic AI. 7AI noted that agents are now autonomously completing the majority of investigations end-to-end, allowing partners to drive security outcomes through technology rather than headcount. Cybersecurity platform Guardz has appointed former Pax8 executive Danni Munro as its new Director of Channel Sales for the Australia and New Zealand region. While this is an international appointment, Munro’s background in scaling Pax8’s operations underscores a broader channel push by Guardz. The company is actively deepening its partner relationships to meet accelerating demand from small and medium-sized businesses facing rising ransomware threats. This move highlights a continuing global trend where cybersecurity vendors are relying on seasoned channel veterans to help MSPs deliver consolidated security services to clients who lack the internal expertise to manage threats independently. In Brief – TechnoPlanet’s ChannelNEXT conference kicks off tomorrow in Toronto to address pressing partner challenges. ManageEngine says its new autonomous AI push will streamline IT operations for managed service providers. Global Startups is set to host the Tech Builders 2026 conference in Toronto on June 16. Mitsubishi HC Capital Canada is urging the channel to embed financing into partnerships to offset complex technology costs. The CRTC has ordered streaming platforms like Netflix and Apple TV to boost their spending on Canadian content. Full details and links in the show notes or the blog post. Later today on In The Channel, we will be airing our conversation with Coro CEO Joe Sykora to discuss security stacks and the 2026 threat landscape. And if you haven’t heard it yet, be sure to check out yesterday’s episode featuring Nigel Brown, CTO of Microserve, for a practitioner’s take on AI readiness and tokenomics from Dell Technologies World. That’s how we’re seeing the headlines today. I’m Robert Dutt for ChannelBuzz.ca, thanks for listening. Have a great day.

In today's episode, we dig into Pizza Hut's retro restaurant revamp and why '90s nostalgia is proving to be a powerful sales strategy. Then, we break down the fight brewing over Canada's new streaming rules, as Netflix and Disney's lobby group warns the CRTC's 15% CanCon spending requirement could raise prices and spark a court challenge. Plus, we preview what to watch this week: Canada–India trade talks, fresh GDP data, and inflation prints that could shape the path for interest rates.Check out the first ever Peak Daily here. The Peak Daily is produced in partnership with reframevid.com 

In Halifax, the search for a missing newborn has ended in tragedy. Police say an infant's remains were found this afternoon in a wooded area.Two people are now facing charges.Also: Progress appears to have been made towards a peace deal between Iran and the U.S. Both sides have hinted that an agreement is close, but disagreements over the key sticking points remain. And just how soon the war will end outright remains murky.And: It started as a steamy book series, then burned up TV screens around the world.

Two developing stories from the White House include a deadly shooting and Trump’s latest promise of a possible Iranian peace deal; the CRTC says the new rules will increase the amount of revenue Canada earns from streaming services, but the change is quite controversial; correctional officers say they’re experiencing increased amounts of violence from inmates at prisons throughout the country; and more.

Liberal MPs are unhappy with Carney’s environmental policies, the CRTC is forcing streamers to pay even more tax, and the BC Conservative leadership race concludes soon to little fanfare.

In the latest episode of The Line Podcast, Matt Gurney and Jen Gerson devote the first segment to a full catch-up on the increasingly wild situation unfolding in Alberta. Jen is furious, arguing that five million people — and indeed the entire country — are now being dragged through this largely because Danielle Smith is trying to save her political career. She's equally angry at parts of the political right that, in her view, are repeating the mistakes the left made during the peak of woke politics: refusing to challenge allies and friends when things start getting out of control. Still, both hosts agree that now that the fight is fully underway, the issues can at least finally be debated openly. Jen states plainly, with Matt's agreement, that The Line holds an explicitly federalist position. You've been warned.This episode of The Line Podcast is brought to you by Electro-Federation Canada. Canada's clean electricity grid gives us a competitive edge in attracting global investment — but to maintain that advantage our system needs to break down barriers and unlock the grid. Aging infrastructure, supply chain constraints, and outdated regulations threaten our ability to expand and modernize the grid — essential components of meeting future capacity needs. Electro-Federation Canada has developed a research-backed roadmap for grid readiness focused on smart policy and regulatory alignment. To learn more, visit MakeTheSwitch.ElectroFed.com.In the second segment, the hosts discuss some of the major personalities shaping events, including Smith, Naheed Nenshi, Jason Kenney, and Pierre Poilievre. Jen also flags a particular political group that listeners should keep an eye on. Matt spends part of the segment stress-testing two of Jen's arguments, offering an interpretation of Smith's conduct that could potentially prove constructive, and sketching out a possible good-news scenario that Jen reluctantly entertains. He doesn't think he sold her.This episode of The Line Podcast is also brought to you by Dominion Dynamics. Canada has never had true sovereign awareness of our North. Vast parts of our country are a blind spot. And when you can't see your own territory, you can't defend it, secure it, or respond when threats emerge. Dominion Dynamics is changing that. Dominion Dynamics is building a sovereign command and control capability that lets Canada and its allies see, respond, and defend across every domain. Dominion is starting in the Arctic, where extreme conditions demand technology no one else can deliver.Defend the Dominion. Dominion Dynamics.Learn more at DefendTheDominion.com.To close, your hosts briefly revisit last week's CBC controversy, which has only become worse as additional targets — including retired RCMP officers — have emerged. The CBC says it has halted funding and launched a review, but neither host believes that will resolve the problem. Both agree that media organizations tend to forget everything they know about how the media works the moment they become the story themselves. Speaking of institutional trouble, Matt closes by asking, only half jokingly, whether the CRTC could perhaps avoid declaring war on the United States for at least the next month or so. If it's not too much trouble.All that and more on the latest episode of The Line Podcast.

Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss Alberta Premier Danielle Smith's referendum strategy on separation, examining how she is navigating court decisions and separatist sentiment while maintaining federal-provincial relations. They then analyze a controversial CBC-funded prank show targeting conservatives, and whether it reflects broader political and cultural bias in the public broadcaster and institutions.In the second half, they discuss the CRTC's recent decision to impose CanCon regulations on online streaming services and whether this decision signals Canada's expanding statism and government involvement in Canadian culture and daily life.If you are enjoying the free version of the Hub Roundtable, subscribe to become a Hub Hero or Fellow to access the full version every week: https://thehub.ca/join/The Hub is Canada's fastest growing independent digital news outlet.Subscribe to The Hub's podcast feed to get our best content when you are on the go:https://tinyurl.com/3a7zpd7e (Apple)https://tinyurl.com/y8akmfn7 (Spotify)Follow The Hub on X: https://x.com/thehubcanada?lang=enCREDITS:Amal Attar-Guzman - Producer and EditorRudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer - Hosts Hosted on Acast.

Jean-Sébastien Giroux porte un appel à mieux encadrer l'accès des mineurs aux réseaux sociaux, dans un contexte d'inquiétudes croissantes sur la santé mentale et le développement cognitif. Il souligne que des technologies d'estimation d'âge existent déjà, avec un traitement local des données pour limiter les enjeux de vie privée. L'objectif est de passer du constat à l'action, en mettant en place un cadre légal, possiblement sous la supervision du CRTC. L'enjeu dépasse les plateformes elles-mêmes et touche les usages, notamment le défilement continu de contenus. Le défi sera d'agir rapidement tout en évitant les effets de contournement par les jeunes utilisateurs.

Canada's media system is under fire. Trust is collapsing, legacy outlets are struggling, and billions in government subsidies, the CBC, and CRTC regulation are raising big questions.  Is the system broken? Who's really controlling the narrative? And what happens to democracy if Canadians stop believing the news?  Join David Leis live with Peter Menzies (former CRTC Vice-Chair), Candice Malcolm (Founder, True North & Juno News), and Marco Navarro-Genie (VP of Research, Frontier Centre) as they expose what's gone wrong—and the policy solutions that could change everything and what can you do.   This affects what you see, what you hear, and what you believe.

Canada's independent broadcasters are waiting to hear back from the CRTC after asking the telecommunications regulator to force Meta to adhere to the Online News Act. CHCH News Director Greg O'Brien joined Newsmakers host Rick Zamperin to explain what's happening and why it's important for the future of local news.

Over the weekend, it emerged that the long-standing Hay River community radio station (and unofficial Cabin Radio sister-station) CKHR had officially had it's FM licence revoked by the CRTC. And so, we shall take up the torch in 2026.

Episode 53 wraps up our coverage of the Elmwood-East Kildonan by-election to succeed the late Jason Schreyer on Winnipeg city council.Part 1- Our analysis: The win by Emma Durand-Wood sets the stage for the organization of a far-left slate in the 2026 general election to try to take control of civic politics. We look at the radical policies she and her backers like 2022 Mayoral candidate Shaun Loney want to impose, and the conflicts she might encounter with Mayor Gillingham and the area Community Committee in particular.Also discussed - how the race panned out for the runners-up Abel Gutierrez and Braydon Mazurkiewich; whether the chosen successor to Schreyer waited too long to enter the contest; and the rejection by the voters of two city employees vying for the seat.19.50 Part 2 - With a weak turnout of 15.7%, Durand-Wood gets to make decisions about city spending with the support of just 5% of the eligible ward voters. Her absurd solution to spur better public engagement? Children aged 16 and 17 should be enfranchised. But she benefitted from a more significant cause of the disinterest in the race- the failure of Winnipeg broadcasters to fulfill their CRTC obligations to provide even minimal coverage of candidates in the October 25th election. While listener-funded TGCTS invested 50 hours to produce and promote podcast interviews with the seven hopefuls, Winnipeg news operations raking in substantial subsidies from the federal Liberals shamefully failed to keep the community informed. Hear which newsroom didn't file a single story on their website between announcing the by-election was called, until just before voting day. *****Read the latest columns by Marty Gold in The Winnipeg Sun- Even the smallest victories eluding Gillingham in encampment crisisCity evasive about rubber stamping a “safe consumption rooms” permit ******On November 14th the biggest wrestling match in Canada, the 50 Man Rumble To Remember, is being presented by Canadian Wrestling's Elite - and once again, Marty Gold is going to compete!

Not sure exactly how the ad misrepresents Reagan's words but how can you determine a dead person's intentions? Trump did say if he was Canada he would do the same thing but where do we go from here? 2 - Heat's Rozier and Trail Blazers' Billups charged in sports betting and Mafia-backed poker schemes: With legal sports betting now so widespread, isn't it inevitable that schemes like this will emerge? Should bettors be compensated and get their money back from games that were fixed? 3 - Pharrell Williams, Jonas Brothers to perform in Toronto at World Series: Thoughts on Pharrell Williams and Jonas Brothers singing national anthems for games 1 and 2 in Toronto?

Professor Michael Geist is someone I think about often. It could be from the writings on his blog or his words from his podcast, Law Bytes. With the CRTC spending its valuable time these days discussing with Canadian Radio, what qualifies and should qualify as Canadian Content, I thought now would be a good time to have him on the show to discuss some of the inner workings of their policy making.We explored the evolving landscape of Canadian media regulation and the challenges facing policymakers in the digital age. He highlighted how, for over two decades, both Conservative and more often Liberal governments have struggled to keep pace with the rapid changes brought by the internet, often lagging behind technology and failing to anticipate the real-world impact of new laws.We discussed the influence of lobby groups on legislation like Bill C-11 and C-18, which have shaped the way news and streaming content are regulated in Canada. Professor Geist pointed out that these laws often overlook the needs of end users and the realities of modern content distribution, leading to unintended consequences—such as the inability to share news on social platforms.The conversation also touched on the CRTC's lack of direct radio experience and its tendency to prioritize traditional stakeholders over public interest. As AI becomes more prevalent in media, Geist suggested greater transparency would be an excellent start.Looking ahead, Geist emphasized the importance of keeping public interest at the heart of policy decisions, especially as new privacy and AI regulations are debated in Canada.You can see the full video of Michael Geist's appearance at the CRTC Hearing in 2023 here.

Big Tech companies will spend the next week arguing why they shouldn't have to bankroll Canada's music industry. A new report confirms what we already kinda knew about the feds' carbon cutting goals: they bit off more than they could chew.

On today's episode of The Candice Malcolm Show, guest host Kris Sims breaks down the growing threats to freedom of expression in Canada. Kris explains how free speech is being squeezed from both sides — with government money flooding the media and new laws threatening to criminalize dissent. She exposes how millions in subsidies and tax credits have put mainstream media on the government payroll — destroying public trust in journalism. Then she unpacks the Liberals' latest censorship push — from Bill C-11's online speech controls to the Online Harms Act, which could allow anonymous complaints, steep fines, and even house arrest for speech that makes someone feel “unsafe.” Later, she's joined by journalist and former CRTC vice-chair Peter Menzies, who explains what these laws really mean for journalism, tech platforms, and anyone who dares to criticize the government.
