POTUS could create USACon regulations that essentially mirror Canada's.

Canadian Content (CanCon) regulations are rules set by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to promote and protect Canadian cultural content in broadcasting. They require radio and television broadcasters to air a minimum percentage of Canadian-produced content, ensuring Canadian artists, musicians, and creators have a platform and that Canadian culture is reflected in media. The goal is to counterbalance the influence of foreign (mostly American) media and support Canada's cultural identity.

Key Aspects of CanCon Regulations:

 

Radio:

Commercial radio stations must ensure at least 35% of their weekly musical selections (from 6 AM to 6 PM, Monday to Friday) are Canadian content.

For ethnic or specialty stations, this percentage can vary.

A song qualifies as Canadian if it meets at least two of the MAPL criteria:

Music: Composed by a Canadian.

Artist: Performed by a Canadian.

Production: Recorded or performed live in Canada.

Lyrics: Written by a Canadian.

Television:

Broadcasters (e.g., CBC, CTV) must dedicate a portion of their programming to Canadian content, typically measured by airtime or budget allocation.

Private broadcasters must ensure 60% of their overall programming is Canadian, with at least 50% in prime time (7 PM to 11 PM).

Public broadcasters like CBC have higher requirements, often up to 75-80% Canadian content.

Canadian content is defined by factors like the nationality of key creative personnel (e.g., director, writer, actors) or production location.

Funding and Support:

CanCon is supported by funds like the Canada Media Fund, which subsidizes Canadian TV and digital media production.

Tax credits and grants incentivize Canadian productions.

Streaming and Digital Media:

Historically, CanCon applied to traditional broadcasters, but recent updates (e.g., Bill C-11, passed in 2023) extend regulations to online streaming platforms like Netflix and Spotify operating in Canada.

Streaming services must now contribute to Canadian content production (e.g., via a levy to fund local projects) and promote Canadian content through algorithms or quotas, though specific requirements are still being finalized by the CRTC.

Purpose and Impact:

Ensures Canadian stories, music, and perspectives are heard, fostering national identity.

Supports Canadian artists and industries, creating jobs and opportunities.

Critics argue it can limit consumer choice or impose artificial quotas, while supporters say it’s essential to preserve Canadian culture in a globalized media landscape.
