CBC president whines about the influence of America's Netflix, making a comparison to past colonialism.   Quite the irony for a Canadian crown corporation....

But, she warned, a foreign company taking up an increasingly larger role in a country's cultural industry comes with a price.

"Fast forward to what happens after imperialism and the damage that can do to local communities," Tait said. "So all I would say is, let us be mindful of how it is we as Canadians respond to global companies coming into our country."

The Canadian federal government (CRTC) now has a dedicated web page to watching Super Bowl® ads...foreign television program/advertising:

Seeing Canadian Commercials during the Super Bowl

Ads during the Super Bowl get a lot of hype. They are an important part of the overall spectacle, and viewers look forward to watching them.

For Canadian viewers this has been a problem. They didn’t see the same ads as those seen in the US because they were replaced with Canadian ads.

https://crtc.gc.ca/eng/television/publicit/super.htm

 

If the USMCA (NAFTA 2.0) is not ratified in time to stop this CRTC theft, it is unclear if American ads will be available in Canada for Super Bowl LIV.

The Supreme Court of Canada has ruled....no Super Bowl ads for you !

 

Quote

The Supreme Court has overturned a decision that allowed viewers to see keenly anticipated American commercials during the Super Bowl broadcast.

Bell Canada's media division secured an exclusive licence from the NFL in 2013 to broadcast the Super Bowl in Canada and sold ad time to Canadian businesses to be inserted into the program on both Canadian and American stations.
