I mean we do have can-con regulations, but arguably their implementation is lacking and at least for the film industry seemingly supports foreign films filming in Canada more than it supports domestic films.

There also even is a whole question of what even constitutes Canadian content, should we only include things that are substantially about Canada or Canadians? Or is it enough for it to be made in Canada / by Canadians.

I also know at least for some sectors it's even harder than others. E.g anglo Canadian drama / théâtre is always going to have issues because we have grants for domestic non-profit grassroots productions, but the big anglo-theatre houses are expensive enough that it's mostly going to be American stuff coming :/

It's disheartening but I don't see an easy solution, but I do hope we at least try to make steps in the right direction in the coming years.

The MAPL system is what constitutes Canadian content.
